This report presents observations and findings of the Fiord West 2009 Hydrologic Assessment conducted by Michael Baker Jr., Inc. (Baker) at the request of ConocoPhillips Alaska (CPAI). This assessment supports the Alpine Development Project and Alpine Satellite Development Plan, and represents the second consecutive year of study in the Fiord West region.
CPAI has proposed the development of a drilling pad and access road in the Fiord West region of the National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska (NPR-A) as part of the Alpine Satellite Development Plan (ASDP). Observations and measurements of water surface elevation (WSE) were recorded at four Fiord West locations associated with the proposed pad and access road, as well as two Nigliq Channel locations.
