When Congress Last debated opening anwr to oil and Gas Development, people made arguments about the use of new technology and how it would minimize the impact on anwr. Since then a lot of the claims have borne out in the industry. We will share some of them today. A couple are directional. Extended reach Multi Lateral drilling techniques that allow wells to be drilled in all directions from a well pad kind of like spokes on a bicycle wheel. Directional drilling has been around since the 1970s. But at that time it was did not allow the reach that we can now. And so you could drill a few square miles around a pad. I have a figure thats been shown before in the hearing today. You can see a couple, three square miles using technology from the 1970s and fast forward to the run on the far right, 12acre pad where a rig can reach out and cover 125 square miles. That means that you can space pads in modern development up to ten miles apart and that there is little to no surface impact between t

And new development will be for alaska, a state struggling for high unemployment and for its own budget shortfalls. Opening up the coastal plane makes sense. Energy development meets some of the most rigorous in the en
Good morning everyone. Committee will come to order. We meet this morning to consider opening a very small portion of alaskas 1002 area to responsible Energy Development to meet the 1 billion budget reconciliation instruction that our Committee Received last week. The 1002 area covers 1. 57 million acres of land in northeast alaska within the nonwilderness portion. You bring it over here, sean. Within the nonwilderness portion of an war. And i think its important to put this in context in terms of the areas we are talking about. Anwar itself is 19 million acres. Approximately the size of south carolina. The nonwilderness area, is approximately the size of delaware. The area here is designated as federal wilderness. So when were talking about anwr itself, i think its importedant to recognize there are parts that are designated as wilderness, parts within the refuge and parts, the 1002 area specifically been designated for consideration for oil and Gas Exploration. So again i want to be
