Federal and state permits for North Slope oil development stipulate that sites used for exploration and production operations must eventually be returned to a condition acceptable to the regulating agencies and the landowner. In cooperation with the University of Alaska Fairbanks and regulatory agencies, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) has been researching and testing rehabilitation measures for abandoned exploration facilities. Results from these studies am identifying effective ways to assure that disturbed sites will provide usable wildlife habitat after field abandonment.
