Nuna

In 2023, ConocoPhillips Alaska announced that funding was approved for developing the Nuna project from the 3T drillsite in the Kuparuk River Unit (KRU). 

Project construction activities began in 2023 with pipeline and on-pad construction. Drilling began in late 2024 and first oil was accomplished in December 2024, with an expected peak oil rate of 20,000 BOPD.

The Nuna project scope includes 29 development wells, on-pad infrastructure and pipelines that tie back to existing KRU processing facilities. Drillsite 3T is the 49th drillsite developed within the KRU.
