Description
The objective was to assess the feasibility and costs associated with pipeline construction in deeper and more exposed areas of the Beaufort Sea, Alaska as contained in Lease Sale 87. This study addressed the prime concerns for construction of pipelines in the Arctic: (1) establish feasible techniques for pipeline construction in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lease Sale 87, (2) identify new concepts for deep water ice covered conditions, and (3) develop cost data to be used for oil and gas development plans. This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) and is an adjunct to Project No. 78.
