PTU.
2.2.4 Impact of Major Gas Sales on ANS Activities
Major gas sales will have an impact on ANS production rates and remaining oil recovery, TAPS
operations, and future ANS development activities. The extent of this impact depends on such things as the
timing of gas sales, the major gas sales scenario chosen (LNG plant scenario, GTL conversion plant scenario,
or both), and the volumes of gas available for sale.
2.2.4.1 Impact of Gas Sales on Oil Production. When gas production begins for commercial sales,
it will significantly reduce the gas available for reinjection and continuation of the on-going improved oil
recovery processes in the Prudhoe Bay field. Major gas sales from the Prudhoe Bay field could result in a
reduction in the total oil recovery achieved depending on the timing and rate of gas sales. The reduction in
oil recovery could vary from about 900 MMBO for major gas sales starting as early as 2000, to 400 MMBO2-13
