ConocoPhillips plans North Slope oil project

摘要

Anchorage-ConocoPhillips Alaska will develop a $460 million viscous oil expansion project at the Kuparuk River Field on the North Slope, the company said Monday. The 1H NEWS (Northeast West Sak) project will add 8,000 b/d to Kuparuk River Field output at peak production, ConocoPhillips said. Production of technically-difficult viscous oil has been underway for years in the Kuparuk field but ConocoPhillips has been working on ways to improve efficiency and expand production.
