The Biden administration has given approval for three out of the proposed five drilling sites in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - After approximately two years of review, the Willow Project’s aim to extract oil and natural gas from the North Slope of Alaska is one step closer to moving forward.
ConocoPhillips, the company developing the project, has previously said this amount was the minimum required for the project to be economically viable. While environmental activists derided the movement as a betrayal of Biden’s campaign promises on the climate, Alaska’s congressional delegation reacted positively to the news.
Murkowski and Senator Dan Sullivan, as well as Representative Mary Peltola, have long indicated their support for the project.
