Overview of production test site - Alaska North Slope

Detailed Description
As a part of ongoing research on the Alaska North Slope, DOE, in partnership with the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC); and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; the U.S. Geological Survey; and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation Energy Services (AES), are conducting scientific production testing of gas hydrate bearing sands. The testing is being conducted through a drilling agreement executed between AES and Hilcorp Alaska—on behalf of the Prudhoe Bay Working Interest Owners—and approved by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. In preparation for the production test, a stratigraphic test well (STW) and a geo-data well (GDW) were drilled in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
