Governor Mike Dunleavy said he welcomes the family wage jobs the Pikka project will bring, and the 80,000 barrels of new oil it will send down the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System each day. subsidiary, Oil Search Alaska, live in Alaska. At present, about 98 percent of the employees for Santos’ U.S. Oil Search, a subsidiary of Santos, will invest $2.6 billion to bring the field into production by 2026 which is estimated to create 2,600 jobs during construction, and 500 jobs once oil production begins. Pikka is Located in the Nanushuk oil formation on state leases. The planned development is located approximately 52 miles (84 kilometres) from Deadhorse, the major supply base for the North Slope, and at its closest point is seven miles (11 kilometres) northeast of the community of Nuiqsut.Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Oil Search and Repsol have announced that they are moving forward with Phase 1 of the Pikka project on Alaska’s North Slope, the project area contains an estimated 768 million barrels of oil that is recoverable. Combined with the recent North Slope Borough approval of the Master Plan and the rezoning for the facilities and road locations, all major approvals have now been received to commence field activities to support the Pikka Nanushuk oil field development. On taking over operatorship in March 2018 and following a review of issues raised by the community, Oil Search, with approval of the Corps of Engineers, slowed the process to incorporate more than 25 design improvements, to further minimise the environmental footprint and local impact.įollowing these enhancements, the positive Record of Decision was received in May 2019. This review, which commenced in 2015 and comprised an evaluation of the field development design and environmental impacts, incorporated significant community engagement and comment periods. ![]() Regulatory approval for the Pikka Unit Development included a comprehensive independent Environmental Impact Study (EIS) conducted by the US Corps of Engineers. N Approximately 35 miles (56 kilometres) of pipelines N Approximately 25 miles (40 kilometres) of roads N An operations centre with a 200-bed camp plus office, stand-by generation, warehouse and maintenance facilities The scope for the full field development includes: The full field development currently assumes drilling 106 wells (53 producer/injector well pairs) from three wells pads, with a plateau of up to 135,000 bopd through a new Nanushuk central processing facility (NPF) that is targeted to commence production in 2024. Most of the facilities utilised in the EPS will be used in the full field development. The EPS will allow drilling leanings and enhancements to be incorporated into the full field development drilling program. ![]() The scope for the early production system will involve commencing drilling from one of the well pads in 2021 and construction of a three-phase pipeline tied to adjacent processing facilities with ullage that can support the EPS. The basis of design and assumption for FEED is to commence an early production system (EPS), targeting up to 30,000 bopd, in 2022. In a market announcement released last week it stated that during FEED, detailed technical requirements and engineered designs will be finalised and long-lead items, including pipeline and process facility equipment, will be ordered. OIL Search’s Board has approved entry into the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) phase of the Pikka Unit Development, subject to joint venture approval and finalisation of required third-party agreements, which is anticipated in early 2020. ![]()
