Oil in Americas's Arctive [Uploaded 071111
- Nitrogen oxide emissions from Prudhoe Bay oilfields were 56,427 tons
in one year
- This
exceeds all other Alaska sources combined by 20,000 tons and is twice the
total emitted in Washington D.C.(2
- 114,00 metric tons of methane and 11 million tons of carbon are emitted
each year.
- The oil fields have one of the largest groupings of gas turbines
in the world. Ninety-eight natural gas-fired turbines were operating as of
1988
- Because the oil and gas industry
is exempt from the toxic release inventory reporting requirements of the
federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986, exact
information on these air pollutants is difficult to find.

REQUIEM FOR PRUDHOE BAY [Uploaded 071111
- Thirty American
states produce oil and every one is past its production peak. Oklahoma peaked
in 1927, Texas in 1972, Colorado in 1957.
- Last year, the domestic production of the nation's top 20 oil producers,
including Exxon, Chevron, and Texaco, went down 14% even as oil prices
tripled
- Prudhoe Bay is dying. For the past twenty years, about one in ten
gallons of gasoline you pumped into your car came from this enormous oil
field on Alaska's North Slope
- Americans are the Oil Tribe, consuming our body weight in petroleum
every seven days.
- A pool of oil created 225 million
years ago has been pissed away in two short decades
-
- Prudhoe Bay field production reached its highest level in 1987 at
1.56 mb/d. Through Sept. 2001, production this year has been ~515,000 b/d.
Production this year is running about 10% less than last year.

Alaska Climate Changes
- Alaska, No Longer So Frigid, Starts to Crack, Burn and Sag
- the average
temperature has risen about seven degrees over the last 30 years
- Mean temperatures have risen by 5 degrees in summer and 10 degrees
in winter since the 1970's,
- "Alaska is harder hit by global climate change than any place in
the world,"
- It does not take much to find those consequences in a state with
40 percent of the nation's surface water and 63 percent of its
wetlands.
- Throughout the Kenai, people are clearing some of the 38 million
dead trees, answering the call from officials to create a "defensible space"
around houses for fire protection.
- Other forests, farther north, appear to be sinking or drowning as
melting permafrost forces water up. Alaskans have taken to calling the phenomenon
"drunken trees."

Perma Thaw Oil Exploration
- Oil-prospecting convoys in search of new deposits are allowed to
crisscross the fragile tundra only when it is snowy and solid. But over three
decades, rising temperatures have cut this frozen season in half, to 100
days from 200.
- The oil industry says it needs 120 days a year to avoid having projects
drag out expensively
- how variable the
tundra
- At one test site, in the generally softer foothills, 59 drops of
the weight were required to reach a foot on one attempt. Just a yard away,
it took only 6 to reach the same depth.

Large Oil Spill in Alaska Went Undetected for Days

tundra of
Alaska's North Slope
has deposited up to 267,000 gallons of thick crude oil over two acres in
the sprawling Prudhoe Bay production facilities, forcing cleanup crews to
work in temperatures far below zero to vacuum and dig up the thick mixture
of snow and oil
