Samuels, W B

The Federal Government has proposed to offer Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lands in the Bering Sea for oil and gas leasing. This report examines what could happen if oil is found, and attempts to compare relative risks of future leasing with risks of existing leases and transportation of imported oil in the study area. This report summarizes results of an oilspill risk analysis conducted for the proposed OCS lease offering in the St. George Basin (December 1984) and North Aleutian Basin (April 1985).
