ARCO Alaska Inc. spokeswoman Dawn Patience told PNA in mid-March that the company was working at the Clover site in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, where it planned to drill as many as three wells and sidetracks this season. ARCO received a drilling permit March 17 for the 1 Spark well in NPR-A some 10 miles west of the Clover prospect, which was just west of Nuiqsut. The company is also drilling exploration wells south of Tarn at Meltwater North and has permitted two wells and a sidetrack. Another exploration well, the 2 Nanuk, was permitted March 17 south of Alpine, some one and a half miles southwest of the 1 Nanuk, which ARCO drilled to 7,630 feet in 1996. All of the companies winter exploration work is confidential, but Patience noted that "ARCO Alaska has participated in the discovery of more than 1 billion barrels of new reserves across the North Slope in the last 5 years."
