Alaskan oil

Alaskan oil refers to the crude petroleum extracted from oil reserves primarily located in the North Slope of Alaska, particularly from the Prudhoe Bay area. It is a significant source of domestically produced energy for the United States, contributing to fuel production and economic activity. The oil is transported via pipelines, notably the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which stretches over 800 miles to deliver crude to southern refineries. Developing Alaskan oil involves balancing economic benefits with environmental concerns, as the region's fragile ecosystem and wildlife habitats require careful management to prevent ecological harm.
