摘要:Alaska’s North Slope holds one of the largest oil and
gas plays in the world. The biggest oil field there is Prudhoe
Bay. But while the vast oil reserves of the North Slope have
been developed, there is still a huge natural gas potential that
has not yet been developed but could be. Both Prudhoe Bay
and the Point Thompson gas fields have substantial natural
gas reserves that could produce four or more billion cubic
feet (BCF) per day of gas for consumption in the Pacific Rim
or more probably in the Lower 48 of the United States. The
problem is getting the reserves to market. A gas pipeline is
needed. In my book Alaska and North Slope Natural Gas, I
look at all the options to get just such a gas line for the state.
