The Arctic Oil and Wildlife Refuge
A:
The author of this article is trying to inform us on how oil was discovered and by who. A man from the U.S Geological Survey name Kenneth J. Bird and his group estimated that 7 billion barrels of oil are stored in the depths of the southernmost, North Slope. There is a debate between whether or not the south portion of the North Slope in Deadhorse, Alaska should be used to keep wildlife or to drill oil and natural gases. If this oil wants to be discovered oil plants will have to be built and this will damage the wildlife in this area. Drilling is injected deep into wells or burned, which reduces impact of foxes and bears.If drill pads are served by short airstrips rather than long networks, caribou may fear them less and suffer little displacement.

This article is for the creation of drills in the southernmost area of the North Slope in Deadhorse. I believe that the drilling should stop and especially not start because it will harm the wildlife and eventually harm us humans. The species that are being harmed may be keystone species and this in return will harm the WHOLE ecosystem and destroy everything. Drilling is a horrible idea, I believe we should find a greener environmentally friendly alternative to drilling. There are many different things that we can do to created energy and we need to chose the greener option!
SO WHAT? 7 billion barrels of oil are found in the southern part of the North Slope in Deadhorse, Alaska and there is a debate whether or not the drilling for it should happen or keep the wildlife in peace.
SAYS WHO?

WHAT IF...?
We drilled in Alaska?
WHAT DOES THIS REMIND ME OF?
This reminds me of fracking
- By February, Alpine's production has hit maximum output of 90,000 barrels a day
- Build with the future in mind. The Alpine hydrocarbon industry heads in three directions at once.
- The future may lead southward
- Soaring gas prices spurred North Slope companies to commit $75 million to plan a $10-billion gas pipeline.
- Eastern terminus of North Slope is called 1002 area.
- Named for section of Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 that set aside 1.5 million acres of fed property in deference to geologists' guesses that region entombs billions of barrels of oil
- Drilling is injected deep into wells or burned, which reduces impact of foxes and bears. There are other emissions though.
- Scents up to 700 workers and noise of numerous trucks, turbines and engines waft over tundra.
- How animal inhabitants of 1002 area would react is a puzzle to which biologists have only pieces of a solution.
- Wildlife is displaced around oil fields. Tundra swans for example
- 1st pattern: calf survival with amount of high-protein food in the calving area.
- 2nd: caribou cows with newborns have consistently concentrated in the most rapidly greening areas.
- Patricia Reynolds of Fish and Wildlife Service who monitors 250 muskoxen that live in 1002 area point out that animals survive brutal winters. If oil workers mine gravel, the muskoxen will bolt and upset the balanced energy budget and jeopardizing young
