Willow Project Overview
Located on Alaska's North Slope in the National Petroleum Reserve (NPR-A), the Willow project is estimated to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day at its peak.
The economic impact of the Willow project will be sizable. According to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) estimates, Willow could generate between $8 billion and $17 billion in new revenue for the federal government, the state of Alaska, the North Slope Borough, and local communities. The initial phase of Willow development will include a new Willow Central Processing Facility (WCF), three drill sites, pipelines, roads, bridges and supporting infrastructure.
Scope Summary
The Willow project is spread over several phases and areas:
2023 - 2025 - Detailed Design
2023 - 2024 - WOC Fabrication
2025 - 2027 - WOC North Slope Installation and Commissioning
2025 - 2027 - WCF / DS Sealift Module Fabrication
2027 - 2029 - WCF / DS North Slope Installation and Commissioning
Willow will be a greenfield design including all processing facilities, utilities, drilling equipment, camp, and power generation.
