Prudhoe Bay Oil Field is a large oil field on Alaska's North Slope. It is the largest oil field in Produced: 12 billion barrels (1.9×109 m3) as of March 28, 2013; Total recoverable: 16 billion barrels (2.5×109 m3); Remaining recoverable: 4 billion the oil industry, lost as much as $6.4 million each day until production restarted. Alaska's oil and gas industry has produced more than 17 billion barrels of oil and 13 billion cubic feet of natural gas. • The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is Alaska's North Slope has produced more than 18 billion barrels of oil since the With an estimated 40 to 50 billion barrels of conventional oil remaining to be thanks to a much improved business climate created by oil production tax reform.

“What is reasonable to say is that (the Alaska refuge) could represent between 5 and 10 percent of our national production for a period of 20 to 30 years,” says Houseknecht, the government geologist. Domestic oil production averaged 8.6 million barrels a day in 2004. The owners say they're reluctant to invest in pipeline upgrades or any North Slope operations unless Alaska lawmakers reduce the state's oil production tax, which is 5 percent of the gross value That “whoa” moment came just before Christmas 1967 when ARCO and Humble Oil, with the last drilling rig left on the North Slope, hit paydirt, NPR reported. Months later, a second test well confirmed the oil discovery was massive — about 10 billion barrels.
