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). 

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

Project construction activities began in 2023 and continue in 2024 with pipeline and on-pad construction. Drilling is anticipated to begin in late 2024 with first oil anticipated by early 2025, with an expected peak oil rate of 20,000 BOPD.
