Alaska Readies November Lease Sales; North Slope Readies to Re-Emerge as Major Producer

摘要

Alaska is holding oil and natural gas lease sales in November to offer open tracts for development on the North Slope, North Slope Foothills, as well as the Beaufort Sea. The auctions come as experts suggest the North Slope is poised to re-emerge as a major U.S. producing area. The competitive auctions to be held by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas (DO&G) are North Slope Areawide (NSA 2018W), North Slope Foothills Areawide 2018 (FHA 2018) and Beaufort Sea Areawide 2018 (BSA 2018W). The sale includes the Gwydyr Bay, Harrison Bay and Storms blocks within the BSA 2018W and NSA 2018W lease sales.
