Project Number 105
Date of Summary December 31, 1986
Subject Chukchi Sea Transportation Cost Comparison Study
Performing Activity INTEC Engineering, Inc.
Principal Investigator Mr. David S. McKeehan
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Completed.
Description This was a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to study the feasibility and reliability of transporting hydrocarbons from the proposed lease sale areas to shore by pipelines, oil tankers, or combinations of the two systems. Terminals and support facilities were considered in the feasibility study. This study was performed in two stages. The first consisted of data collection and evaluation, defining the study criteria, and screening all possible transportation options. Stage II consisted of a more detailed technical and economic evaluation of transportation options selected in Stage I. Pipeline construction methods as well as an evaluation of transportation system configurations for various production rates versus ice coverage were completed in this stage.
Progress Completed.
