Book Description
Arctic Oil: Photographs of Alaska's North Slope introduces readers to a remote region north of the Arctic Circle. Only the Native peoples who lived there for centuries and the small workforce that keeps Alaska s mammoth oil fields producing had previously known the area. Judy Patrick s photographs now bring this secret corner of the world to the public eye. Images of ice roads and ice islands built for winter exploration lie next to images of year-round production complexes hauled north by barge, and page turns reveal the faces of roughnecks on drill rigs. The melding of pristine Alaska and modern industry in each image make this book is a unique and intriguing compilation. Taken over two decades, these photographs showcase Alaska s North Slope oil industry from the massive Prudhoe Bay field to the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska and beyond. Few people beyond those who work there get to see what Alaska s oil industry looks like, but Alaskan photographer Judy Patrick brings it to life for those of us who will never make the trek north.

Book Description
This book identifies accumulated environmental, social and economic effects of oil and gas leasing, exploration, and production on Alaska's North Slope. Economic benefits to the region have been accompanied by effects of the roads, infrastructure and activies of oil and gas production on the terrain, plants, animals and peoples of the North Slope. While attempts by the oil industry and regulatory agencies have reduced many of the environmental effects, they have not been eliminated. The book makes recommendations for further environmental research related to environmental effects.

Book Description
Discovery of an oil bonanza under Alaska's North Slope offers the hope of some relief from dependence on foreign oil sources. At the same time, the vulnerability to hostile action of the oil fields, of the pipeline carrying crude oil to Valdez, and of the tankers shipping oil from Valdez to refineries suggests that reliance on oil from northern Alaska may be an Achilles heel strategically in time of war. The dilemma caused by the juxtaposition of these two factors was examined in this essay. Research was conducted through a review of the current literature. Present estimates of oil reserves under the North Slope lend credence to the belief that alaskan oil can provide a measure of self-sufficiency in oil reserves to the US. As such, these fields are of major strategic import. Difficulties include the isolation, terrain, and weather features associated with the area and the complexities in transporting supplies and materials to the North Slope and in getting crude oil from the wellheads to refineries. These problems also effect the capability of the US to safeguard the various installations in case of war, but the vital strategic significance of this oil mandates the utmost vigilance in its protection from all sources of attack.
