Massive North Slope pipeline project boosts oil output, delays gas pipeline.
A project by Sohio and Arco on the North Slope involves installing over 225 miles of insulated pipelines to maintain oil output. The pipelines will be used for various systems like waterflood supply, production, and gas handling. Construction is active at Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk Field. Future plans include projects like an oil line to the Beaufort Sea and the Polar Gas Project.
