The objective of this project is to improve oil and gas transportation operations on the North Slope, Alaska. This includes providing methods and tools to develop Nowcast and Forecast models for environmental conditions related to tundra travel and management and water use associated with ice roads and pads and other industry operations... Oil and Gas Development on Alaska's North Slope is a critical part of the US energy supplies and is facing a period of new growth to meet the increasing energy needs of the nation. A majority of all oil and gas-related activities (exploration, development, maintenance) take place in the middle of winter, when the tundra surface is stable. However, the window for the critical oil and gas operational season has been steadily decreasing over time, as the number of companies working on the North Slope is increasing... All of these challenges result in high support costs due to shorter operational seasons, high uncertainty in timing mobilization of..
