Job Summary

Alaska Overview

ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. is Alaska's largest crude oil producer and largest owner of exploration leases, with approximately 1 million net undeveloped acres at year-end 2023. The company produced an average of 195 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED) in 2023. ConocoPhillips Alaska holds major ownership interests in two of North America's largest legacy equivalent per day conventional oil fields, both located on Alaska's North Slope: Kuparuk, which the company operates, and Prudhoe Bay. Additionally, ConocoPhillips Alaska owns and operates several fields on the Western North Slope. The company also has an ownership interest in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System and owns and operates the Polar Tankers fleet.

Kuparuk Overview

The Greater Kuparuk Area includes the Kuparuk River Unit, approximately 40 miles west of Prudhoe Bay, which encompasses the Kuparuk Field and six nearby satellite fields.

The Kuparuk Field is one of the largest onshore producing fields in the United States with more than 500 active producing wells. Kuparuk maintains an active development program. Field installations include three central production facilities that separate oil, natural gas and water, and a seawater treatment plant.

The Kuparuk satellites consist of the Meltwater, Tabasco, Tarn, West Sak, Moraine and Coyote fields. All satellite field production is processed through the Kuparuk production facilities. The Nuna project, which targets the Moraine reservoir, was sanctioned in 2023. The project will add ~29 development wells with on-pad infrastructure and pipelines that tie back to the existing Kuparuk River Unit processing facilities. Project construction activities began in 2023 and will continue through 2024. Drilling is anticipated to begin in mid-late 2024 with first oil anticipated by early 2025.

In 2023, net crude oil production in the Greater Kuparuk Area averaged 65 MBOED.

Alpine Overview

The Alpine Field, located approximately 34 miles west of the Kuparuk Field, is one of the largest conventional onshore oil fields developed in North America in the past 25 years. Alpine is a model for future oil developments, as directional drilling and other innovations minimize its environmental footprint. Field installations include one central production facility that separates oil, natural gas, and water.
