BLM gives unofficial thumbs up for development of massive oil and gas field on Alaska’s North Slope.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The Bureau of Land Management gave the unofficial thumbs up today to develop a massive oil and gas field on Alaska’s North Slope, opening up the potential for the Willow Project to move forward.
The statement tweaked previous proposed reports on the sustainability and legality of the project, which supporters say would help fill the Trans-Alaska Pipeline by producing more than 100-thousand barrels of oil a day and would create billions of dollars in state revenue. “More than 2,500 constructions jobs could be created, with 300 long-term positions opening up,” said Conoco Phillips Alaska.
ConocoPhillips wants to create 5 drilling sites as part of its Willow Project while the Bureau of Land Management calls for up to 3 drilling sites being created as the preferred alternative.
