The field is considered one of the largest conventional discoveries of oil in the U.S. in decades. Global oil and gas companies Santos and Repsol announced they will invest $2.6 billion in the project.

A drill rig works for Repsol at its Colville Delta operations in 2014. The company, along with Armstrong Energy, discovered the promising Pikka prospect.

If developed, the field will significantly boost oil flow in the trans-Alaska pipeline, which has fallen about 75% from its peak in the late 1980s to less than 500,000 barrels daily today. “I appreciate the approach that Santos and their partner, Repsol, have taken to advance this project,” Murkowski said, emphasizing “their strong collaboration with local entities and communities.”
