Willow is in the Bear Tooth 1.2 million acres of exploration and development lands in Unit in the northeast portion of the National the area, including the Willow Discovery. Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A). The original Willow discovery wells, Tinmiaq 2 and 6, were drilled on federal leases in early The BLM completed public scoping in late September 2016. The $4 billion to $6 billion in invested capital for the 2018 and commenced drafting the Environmental Impact project could create more than 2,000 construction jobs Statement (EIS) for Willow.

Heavier modules would first arrive at the 36-mile road route from Nuiqsut. Oliktok Dock, east of the , then use Willow Scope: A Central Processing Facility with existing gravel roads and land-based ice roads up to five drill sites, separate camp and shops pad. for transporting modules to the site of the Willow Pipelines linking to existing Alpine infrastructure/ Central Facility (WCF). corridors. Seawater Source: Kuparuk Seawater Treatment Plant. New pipeline would be required from Kuparuk to Willow along existing and proposed corridors. Key Facts • Jobs created: Potential for hundreds of direct jobs, thousands of construction jobs • Cost to develop: Approximately $2 billion-$3 billion • Cumulative drilling capital over multiple years: Additional $2 billion to $3 billion • Peak production: In excess of 100,000 BOPD (gross) • First oil: Estimated 2026 • Royalty Sharing: Half of the federal royalty will be shared with the state of Alaska to be used to address potential needs of North Slope communities • Revenue: BLM estimates for Willow include taxes and revenue of $1.7 billion to the state of Alaska, $1.9 billion to the North Slope Borough, $4.4 billion to the Federal Government, and an additional $2.5 billion to impacted communities through NPR-A Impact Mitigation Grants, for a total of over $10 billion in public revenue over the life of the project.
