Arctic summary report. Outer Continental Shelf and onshore oil and gas activities and impacts in the Arctic: a summary report, October 1981. Arctic summary report
This summary report begins with a chapter describing the Arctic subregion. Sections of this chapter discuss the geology of the area, including the most recent OCS oil and gas resource and reserve estimates, climate, sand and gravel, the biological environment, the people, and current land use. The magnitude and timing of oil and gas activity are discussed in chapter 2. The third chapter presents information on oil and gas transportation strategies. Chapter 4 describes the nearshore and onshore facilities and impacts that are occurring and/or probably will occur as a result of current and projected lease sales. Appendixes provide further detail, and a glossary presents definitions of geologic, industry-specific, and other special terms used in the report. OCS resource and reserve estimates presented in the summary report reflect the most recent Federal Government information.
