Oilfield facilities at Prudhoe Bay. The Milne Point oil field is 35 miles (56 km) west of Prudhoe Bay and the leased area, called theMilne Point Unit by the State of Alaska, includes the Kuparuk River Oil Pool, [32] Sag River Oil Pool,[33] and the Schrader Bluff Oil Pool.[34] The source rock for the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field and neighboring reserves is a potential source for tight oil and shale gas. As of 2013 mineral rights to 500,000 acres overlying the North Slope oil shale had been leased by Great Bear Petroleum whose principal is the petroleum geologist Ed Duncan.[35]
