Issue:
It is in the best interests of the United States to allow petroleum exploration and development in the ANWR coastal plain, one of the most prospective areas of the country.
Background:
In more than thirty years of modern-era exploration and commercial production from the North Slope of Alaska, the petroleum industry has demonstrated its ability to protect the environment while producing a significant part of the nation’s daily oil production.
Statement:
AAPG supports access to the 1.5 million acre coastal plain of the 19 million acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for petroleum exploration and development.
