Summary report of the sediments, structural framework, petroleum potential, environmental conditions, and operational considerations of the United States Beaufort Sea, Alaska area
Proposed OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sale i54comprising approximately 20,000 sq km in the Beaufort Sea of northern Alaska, has good potential for petroleum in each of the three geologic provinces it contains. However, only about half of the proposed area underlies waters shallower than 20 m, the apparent present technologic limit for petroleum development in polar seas impacted by a drifting permanent ice pack.
