Job SummaryAlaska Overview
ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. is Alaska's largest crude oil producer and largest owner of exploration leases, with approximately 1 million net undeveloped acres at year-end 2023. The company produced an average of 195 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED) in 2023.

Kuparuk Overview
The Greater Kuparuk Area includes the Kuparuk River Unit, approximately 40 miles west of Prudhoe Bay, which encompasses the Kuparuk Field and six nearby satellite fields.
The Kuparuk Field is one of the largest onshore producing fields in the United States with more than 500 active producing wells. Kuparuk maintains an active development program. Field installations include three central production facilities that separate oil, natural gas and water, and a seawater treatment plant.
The Kuparuk satellites consist of the Meltwater, Tabasco, Tarn, West Sak, Moraine and Coyote fields. All satellite field production is processed through the Kuparuk production facilities. The Nuna project, which targets the Moraine reservoir, was sanctioned in 2023.
