The leak was first observed early Friday morning at the Alpine Field, said ConocoPhillips Alaska spokesperson Rebecca Boys in an email. The gas leak is at one of the drill sites, and is subsurface and below the gravel, she said.
“The cause of the leak is being investigated,” Boys wrote. “The Alpine Emergency Response Team is onsite and is working to stop the leak and minimize potential impact to the environment.”
The Colville River Unit, more commonly known as the Alpine Field, is an onshore oil field on the western North Slope operated by ConocoPhillips Alaska. It’s about 34 miles west of the Kuparuk River Field and just eight miles north of the village of Nuiqsut.

According to a subsequent email from Boys, ConocoPhillips Alaska evacuated all non-essential personnel from the drill site and the Alpine Central Facility on Monday “out of an abundance of caution.”

Alpine was the first North Slope field developed exclusively with horizontal well technology to access greater than 50 square miles of subsurface from a single drilling pad. It also employs Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) through waterflooding and miscible gas injection.

Nuiqsut is located on the Colville River Delta, the largest delta on the Arctic Coastal Plain. The Delta is a biological hot spot, teeming with wildlife and fish. Because of its rich habitat, the Iñupiat have relied on it for thousands of years as a traditional hunting, fishing, and gathering place. But that subsistence way of life is in jeopardy, threatened by an ever-expanding oil industry...
