In its latest plan of development for the legacy field, BP confirmed that natural gas intended for export or in-state use could be delivered to the gas treatment plant tie-in at a slightly lower pressure than previously designed at the request of the state, which is now leading the Alaska LNG Project.

BP’s 2017 Prudhoe Bay Plan of Development includes additional information on the company’s oil field work to support a North Slope natural gas export project, with the hope of avoiding a repeat of the nearly six-month standoff the company had with state officials last year over what was in the 2016 version of the annual report.
The 2017 Prudhoe Plan of Development, or POD, outlines four “subsurface studies” BP conducted last year on the potential interplay between continued oil production from the giant mature field and once-and-for-all producing and selling the massive natural gas resource the it also holds.
The plan was submitted to the Division of Oil and Gas March 30. The division has until June 5 to approve or deny the development plan, or 60 days from when it was deemed complete on April 5.
The contents of the document remain under review, according to a DNR spokeswoman.
The studies primarily examined the prospect of re-injecting natural gas byproducts back into the field through the use of injection wells in the event a large gas project goes forward.
