Certainly the discovery of oil and gas in the arctic is a great find, the huge discovery in the arctic leads to a large estimate of more than one billion barrels of oil and associated gas, the important thing about this discovery is that according to petrophysical records the oil discovered here is a high quality oil in accordance to the API grades.
In the history found in the federal arctic lands, the discovery of this high quality oil has been the most important discovery of any oil field.
From the point of view of oilfield knowledge provided by oilfield engineering, the discovery has a geological configuration that allows for an estimated 1.6 billion barrels of oil to be located in the same reservoir (source rock), and at the same time this same geological configuration allows for other important oilfields to be discovered in this region of the Arctic.
Conclusion
It is important to be able to overcome the climatic barriers in the short and medium term exploitation, also the technology is influential for the drilling of wells where the logistics are included in this hostile area due to its extremely cold climate.
It is not excluded that new deposits can be discovered that are linked to the present findings, the important thing is that with good operational practices dedicated to environmentally sustainable practices can be given a rational use of these natural resources.
