Repsol makes discoveries on Alaska’s North Slope

摘要

Anchorage—Repsol has made three oil discoveries as part of a recently completed drilling campaign west of the US’ producing Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk fields on Alaska’s North Slope, the Spain-based oil major said April 23. Dudley Platt, an independent petroleum consultant familiar with the area, said Repsol’s announcement is significant because oil was encountered in all three wells that the company drilled this winter, which are several miles apart.
