Prudhoe Bay Oil Field is a large oil field on Alaska's North Slope.It is the largest oil field in North America, covering 213,543 acres (86,418 ha) and originally contained approximately 25 billion barrels (4.0 × 10 9 m 3) of oil. [1]
Start of production: December 13, 1981: Peak of production: 322,000 barrels per day (~1.60 × 10 ^ 7 t/a) Peak year: 1992: Production; Current production of oil: 71,021 barrels per day (~3.539 × 10 ^ 6 t/a) Year of current production of oil: 2019: Estimated oil in place: 6,000 million barrels (~8.2 × 10 ^ 8 t) Producing formations: Kuparuk ...
In a report compiled by the government of Alaska, the real GDP of Alaska was $51.1 billion in 2011, $52.9 billion in 2012 and $51.5 billion in 2013.The drop-off that occurred between 2012 and 2013 has been attributed to the decline in the mining sector, specifically the oil and gas sectors, a consequence of declined production.
"Hubbert's peak" can refer to the peaking of production in a particular area, which has now been observed for many fields and regions. Hubbert's peak was thought to have been achieved in the United States contiguous 48 states (that is, excluding Alaska and Hawaii) in the early 1970s. Oil production peaked at 10.2 million barrels (1.62 × 10 ^ 6 m 3) per day in 1970 and then dec
(The data below does not seem to include shale oil and other unconventional sources of oil such as tar sands. For instance, North America has over 3 trillion barrels of shale oil reserves, [ citation needed ] and the majority of oil produced in the US is from shale, leading to the paradoxical data below that the US will finish all its oil at ...
President Donald Trump's executive order to boost oil drilling, mining, and logging in Alaska was met with enthusiasm by some state leaders and worry by environmental groups.
While most people are optimistic for the new year, our oil and gas companies might not be feeling the same way. According to a study by Quantum Commodity Intelligence, U.S. oil production growth ...
The three most common forms of decline curves are exponential, hyperbolic, and harmonic. It is assumed that the production will decline on a reasonably smooth curve, and so allowances must be made for wells shut in and production restrictions. The curve can be expressed mathematically or plotted on a graph to estimate future production.
