ARCO permits sidetrack to Spark exploration well

Kristen Nelson

ARCO Alaska Inc. received a drilling permit for a sidetrack to its National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Spark well on April 14. The original well, the 1 Spark, was a vertical hole permitted March 17 some 12 miles west of Nuiqsut. The 1A Spark is a directional hole permitted to a bottom hole southeast of the original well.

ARCO’s NPR-A Clover location received a drilling permit Feb. 10 and ARCO permitted a well at a third NPR-A location, Rendezvous, on April 5.

ARCO Alaska spokeswoman Dawn Patience said April 17 that they are trying to get all three locations drilled this season. All other information about the company’s exploration drilling activities are confidential, Patience said.
