Houston, TX - ATC 2018 – Speakers and audience during The Great State of Alaska: America's Only Gateway to Arctic Resources plenary panel session at the Arctic Technology Conference, an OTC event, at the Hilton Americas on Monday, 5 November 2018. Allowing responsible energy exploration in new onshore and offshore areas of Alaska unlock immense opportunities for Alaskans to sustain the state’s economy and to aid in the national drive for energy independence. Pre-lease activities are taking place in the Offshore Continental Shelf (OCS) and on land in the Area 1002 of Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Political, economic, environmental, and operational considerations must be balanced to achieve the intended benefits. This panels will focus on recent decisions, current activities, and near-term next steps to enable energy exploration in Arctic Alaska with a unique focus on the largest conventional onshore prospect in North America: Area 1002. The Arctic Technology Conference is built upon OTC’s successful multidisciplinary approach, delivering the world’s most comprehensive Arctic event.
