ConocoPhillips Alaska Delivers Nuna Module to North Slope

A module for the Nuna project at the Kuparuk River Unit has arrived on the North Slope. ConocoPhillips Alaska had the production module fabricated in Anchorage, and the unit was barged to Oliktok Dock on the Arctic Ocean.

First Alaska-Fabricated Module in Twenty Years

This is the first sea-lifted production module ConocoPhillips has fabricated in Alaska in more than two decades. Construction took place at Anderson Dock operated by North Star Terminal & Stevedore Company, near the Don Young Port of Alaska.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this summer upon completion. Erec Isaacson, president of ConocoPhillips Alaska, said, “It’s great to see the fabrication of the module take place right here in our backyard and be built by Alaskans.”

From Oliktok Dock, the module was transported inland to its permanent location at drill site 3T. Nuna will bring Kuparuk’s forty-ninth drill site online and will add twenty-nine development wells that tie back to existing processing facilities at Central Processing Facility 3.
