ConocoPhillips obtains key government approvals for Alaska project

摘要

ConocoPhillips has obtained important federal government support for pipeline and bridge projects that would allow the company to be the first to develop a commercial oil well in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve since the reserve was opened to drilling in 1998.rnAn agreement between ConocoPhillips, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency confirms that construction of a pipeline and bridge over the Colville River to an area of development is acceptable, as long as certain environmental mitigations and other changes are accounted for in the permit application.
