The Prudhoe Bay Case Study is the fourth technical report to be issued as part of the Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program. The Prudhoe Bay Case Study explores the concept of enclave development in remote areas. The first portion of the study documents the present status of the working and living relationships at Prudhoe Bay, an industrial enclave built to tap the largest known oil and gas reserve in North America. The working and living conditions at Prudhoe Bay are highlighted by comparing facilities, services and characteristics of the work force of the operating oil companies who administer and operate the facilities at Prudhoe Bay, with the service companies, firms that are under contract to the oil companies to perform specified functions. The second portion of the study gleans from the experience gained in constructing and operating facilities at Prudhoe Bay lessons that might be applied in the event that enclave development occurs elsewhere in the State.
