Alaska posts Bristol Bay study

The Alaska Division of Oil and Gas has posted the Alaska Peninsula Oil and Gas Study on its web site for companies interested in the Bristol Bay basin hydrocarbon potential. The document consists mainly of graphic elements, including maps of the proposed Alaska Peninsula areawide oil and gas lease sale area, the exploration license study area and a geologic map of the entire area (see this page.)

One chart in the study outlines an exploration license timeline (see this page); another outlines the typical onshore exploration well permit process; others deal with geologic information, including an Alaska Peninsula geologic cross section.

The web site address for the 12-page document is:

The first proposed Alaska Peninsula areawide lease sale is scheduled for October 2005.
