In response to local concerns on the North Slope, ConocoPhillips has agreed to change the design basis for its road upgrade in the Kuparuk River unit from a 35-foot road width to a 32-foot width, ConocoPhillips spokeswoman Natalie Lowman has told Petroleum News.

As previously reported in Petroleum News, the company wants to upgrade about 26 miles of roadway over a five-year period, primarily by increasing the road widths. The upgrades would apply to both main roads and drill site access roads. The width of the total road gravel footprint would be greater than the width of the road itself.
