How many barrels per day will ConocoPhillips' Willow project produce?

Question

Accepted Answer

ConocoPhillips' Willow project in NPR-A is expected to produce up to 180,000 barrels per day from reserves of roughly 600 million barrels. Biden approved Willow in March 2023 despite fierce opposition from climate activists. The project will become the westernmost producing oil field on Alaska's North Slope. Willow sits in NPR-A's oil-rich Nanushuk formation, which has produced major discoveries on both federal and state lands. Environmental groups estimated Willow's emissions will equal 170 coal-fired power plants operating for a year. ConocoPhillips has substantial leases and operations in Alaska's Arctic, including in NPR-A. The Willow approval showed Biden balancing climate goals with union jobs and Alaska's economy. The project demonstrates that NPR-A already attracts industry interest, unlike the Arctic Refuge where lease sales drew zero bids.
