I hate to disagree with you, but got to set the record straight. There is a small refinery on the slope! Right there at discovery well, it's a little cracker, with, get this, a wooden floor! Yuppers, did a refit there years ago. When we poured the electrical seal-offs in November, don't think they cured till June!
If you fly in to Barrow, there are two gas wells there that I could see in the 90's.

This forum is amazing! No matter how remote the spot or obscure the topic, one or more Freepers have 'been there, done that' and can give you the straight skinny.

When we were building the main camps at Prudhoe, that little refinery provided gasoline and diesel for our machines and vehicles. The diesel was okay, but the gasoline was raw so the lifetime of gasoline engines in pickup trucks was about 10,000 miles.

Let me give you an idea how small this forum really is. Read your profile - I'm a plankowner to the Emory S. Land (AS-39) Took care of fast attacks, and a boomer now and then. The Boone rings a bell.

Best as I can tell, I was in and out after you (78-82), because of the names of the boats. Our mission was wrapped around the 688 Los Angeles class boats. Always wanted a ride on a boat, but never got to go...one of the reasons I got out after four. Ever take one of those up through the ice at the pole?

When it comes to getting things done...trust a freeper to be on it!
