Spanish oil giant Repsol S.A. (REPYY - Free Report) recently discovered a giant oil field in Alaska, holding as much as 1.2 billion barrels of oil. The discovery marks the biggest onshore find in the U.S. in the last three decades.
Alaska’s oilfields in the North Slope were viewed as an aging basin owing to lowered production since the last three decades. However, the current discovery by Repsol and ConocoPhillips promising oil discovery in Alaska in January breathes new hope into Alaska’s North Slope.
Repsol partnered with Denver-based oil explorer, Armstrong Oil & Gas, Inc. in the project. Both the companies commenced exploration activities in the Nanushuk play in Alaska in 2008. Two wells, Horseshoe-1 and 1A wells, drilled during 2016-2017 winter campaign along with the earlier discovery in the adjacent Pikka field makes Nanushuk a significant emerging oil play.
Repsol owns 25% and 49% interests in the Horseshoe discovery and in the Pikka field, respectively. The remaining stake is held by Armstrong Oil & Gas which is also the current operator of the project. Production from Pikka is expected to begin in 2021, with a potential to extract up to 120,000 barrels of output per day.
