ConocoPhillips Arctic Oil Exploration Expansion

planned

ConocoPhillips is proposing exploratory drilling and seismic testing beyond the borders of its Willow oil project in the Arctic wilderness of Alaska's North Slope. The project involves extending ice roads and well pads farther west into the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, including areas important for caribou migration and subsistence hunting by Alaska Natives. The exploration is planned as a temporary winter activity with minimal impacts, subject to environmental assessments and public comments.
