BARROW, Alaska (AP) — There was no dancing, singing or Eskimo blanket toss at the North Slope Oil and Gas Forum on Sept. 19-21 in Barrow. Interested parties got right down to business, giving their perspectives on oil development on Alaska’s north coast.
In attendance were more than 200 people, representing residents of the North Slope Borough, as well as state, federal and oil industry officials. Hosted by the North Slope Borough, the event offered a detailed look at the various, and sometimes conflicting, sides of oil development in the Arctic.
