After more than a week, gas is still leaking on the North Slope, ConocoPhillips says.
Alpine Central Facility serves as the hub for the Alpine oil field, photographed on Feb. 9, 2016.
But the village’s mayor, in a phone interview Monday, said she’s frustrated that the company ended daily calls with her this week and stopped taking live questions during its briefings for residents — instead referring them to a new company-sponsored website and hotline. Conoco, which owns and operates Alpine, says it has not detected any natural gas outside of the CD-1 pad, where oil production has since been shut off.
“It says something’s severely wrong with the wellbore integrity,” he said. “This is a pretty big deal.” “We are absolutely paying attention to this,” Brune said in a brief phone call Monday. “Multiple agencies are looking at it.”Meanwhile, the Alpine Central Facility is continuing essential operations. And after 300 non-essential workers were evacuated last week, some are starting to return, with staffing expected to be at least 50% of normal operations by mid-week, Conoco said.
