Funding was provided over the past 22 years by an industry consortium comprised of various companies, including Anadarko Petroleum, BP Exploration, Chevron USA Production Company, ConocoPhillips, Encana, Eni, Oil Search, PetroCanada, Pioneer Resources, Shell Western Exploration and Production, TotalFinaElf, and Unocal; some of these companies no longer exist. Additional funding was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey and the State of Alaska.
The DGGS Energy Resources Section generates new, unbiased information on the geologic framework of frontier areas in Alaska that may host undiscovered oil, gas, coal, and geothermal resources. Northern Alaska is a world-class petroleum province that includes some of North America's most prospective onshore regions. Despite this potential, the North Slope remains underexplored relative to other sedimentary basins around the world. New exploration ventures are hampered by the limited amount of published geologic data, and much of the available information is reconnaissance in nature. This work has been spurred by the hydrocarbon discoveries announced between 2015 and 2018 that are associated with stratigraphic traps in the Nanushuk Formation. These discoveries form two roughly parallel fairways; a western trend that includes the Willow and West Willow oil accumulations, located in the northeastern National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, and an eastern trend comprised of the Pikka, Narwhal, and Horseshoe oil accumulations, located on state land in the Colville Delta area.
