Biden Administration Approves Willow Project
FOR SALE
The Biden Administration said March 13 it is approving the Willow oil-drilling project on the North Slope, a major climate move by President Biden that drew quick condemnation from environmentalists. The announcement came a day after the administration said it would bar or limit drilling in some other areas of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. The Willow approval by the Bureau of Land Management would allow three drill sites, which would include up to 199 total wells. ConocoPhillips has said it considers the three-site option workable, “the right decision for Alaska and our nation” in the words of company chairman and CEO Ryan Lance. The Willow project could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, create up to 2,500 jobs during construction and 300 long-term jobs, and generate billions of dollars in royalties and tax revenues for the federal, state and local governments, the company said. While monumental for the state’s economy, it’s unclear if this marks a change in Biden administration actions to limit resource development in Alaska. — The Associated Press
