Prudhoe Bay Oil Field
Prudhoe Bay Oil Field is a large oil field on Alaska's North Slope. It is the largest oil field in North
America, covering 213,543 acres (86,418 ha) and originally containing approximately 25 billion
barrels (4.0 × 109 m3) of oil.[1] The amount of recoverable oil in the field is more than double that
of the next largest field in the United States by acreage (the East Texas oil field), while the
largest by reserves is the Permian Basin (North America). The field was operated by BP; partners
were ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips until August 2019; when BP sold all its Alaska assets to
Hilcorp.[2]
