North Slope Alaska Oil Field DescriptionsThere's much more to the Alaska oil fields than just Prudhoe Bay. While Prudhoe Bay is the largest and most recognizable of the the north slope oil fields, there are other significant developments, such as Kuparuk, as well as many smaller satellite fields that you should know about. In fact, as of today (Fall 2006) there are over 20 separate oil fields in production.If you're looking for work on the slope you'll want to be familiar with these additional Alaska oilfield names and locations. You'll have a much better idea of your work location and to a certain degree, the work conditions. Worker housing for smaller fields is usually just as comfortable as those found on the larger north slope oil developments. Some smaller locations actually have nicer rooms for the workers because the facilities are newer. What you will find is that there just aren't as many amenities. The larger and more established Alaska oilfield camps offer things like: saunas, basketball courts, racquetball, extensive weight-lifting and cardio rooms, movie theatres...the BOC at Prudhoe even has a pool! To find out more about living conditions on the slope you'll want to check out my section of the same name where I discuss housing, recreation and most important...food. The links below will provide you with more detailed information about the many Alaska oil fields in the North Slope oil industry.
