Dresner, S

Conoco is developing the company's first Arctic production venture, the Milne Point Field, on Alaska's North Slope. Development will proceed in several phases, with production being maintained. For over 20 years: an initial drilling and production program for the Kuparuk formation, followed by additional drilling to maintain productions as flow from the first wells slows. Subsequent phases in the early 90s would tap the vast reserves of thick oil in another, shallower reservoir. When the project is fully developed, total cost is expected to be near $800 million.
