<h1>Greater Point McIntyre Area Oil and Gas Project (Alaska,United States)</h1>
<p>The Greater Point McIntyre Area Oil and Gas Project is an onshore operating oil and gas project on Alaska’s North Slope within the Prudhoe Bay Unit area. Hilcorp North Slope operates the project; in 2026,Alaska regulators approved Hilcorp Alaska LLC as successor Prudhoe Bay Unit operator,with Hilcorp North Slope continuing as a working interest owner. The mature producing area includes multiple participating areas: Point McIntyre,Lisburne,Combined Niakuk,North Prudhoe Bay,Raven,and West Beach.</p>

<h2>Location and Basin</h2>
<p>The project is located onshore on Alaska’s North Slope near Prudhoe Bay. It is part of the Prudhoe Bay Unit and the Greater Prudhoe Area,which includes the Prudhoe Bay Field,satellite fields,and the Greater Point McIntyre Area fields. The basin is not consistently labeled but is commonly described as Alaska North Slope,Prudhoe Bay Unit context. The area includes multiple reservoirs: Lisburne produces from the Wahoo and Alapah formations; Point McIntyre and Combined Niakuk produce from the Cretaceous Kuparuk River Formation; Raven produces from the Ivishak and Sag River formations.</p>

<h2>Operator and Ownership</h2>
<p>Ownership includes ConocoPhillips Corp (36%),Exxon Mobil Corp (36%),Hilcorp Alaska LLC (26%),and Chevron Corp (1%). Parent companies are Exxon Mobil Corp (36.4%),ConocoPhillips Corp (36.1%),Chevron Corp (1.1%),and Hilcorp Energy Co. ConocoPhillips reported a 36.1% interest in the Prudhoe Bay Unit and 36.5% in the Greater Prudhoe Area after a 2024 acquisition.</p>
<p>BP previously operated Prudhoe Bay but sold its Alaska business to Hilcorp for US$5.6 billion,with the acquisition completed in 2020. Project-level data initially listed Hilcorp North Slope as operator. In January 2026,the Alaska Department of Natural Resources approved an operator change to Hilcorp Alaska LLC,with Hilcorp North Slope remaining a working interest owner.</p>

<p>The Greater Point McIntyre Area developed in stages. Cumulative production reached approximately 763 million barrels of hydrocarbon liquids by 2016. Decline-mitigation strategies include well work,sidetrack drilling,enhanced oil recovery,voidage replacement,and injection projects. The 2024 plan included two rotary wells,potential sidetracks at Point McIntyre,a rotary well at Lisburne,and two rotary wells targeting the Brookian. No facility projects were planned for that period.</p>

<h2>Infrastructure and Facilities</h2>
<p>The project is integrated into Greater Prudhoe Area infrastructure. ConocoPhillips lists seven production facilities,a central compression plant,a central gas facility,a seawater treatment plant,a seawater injection plant,and a central power station for the Greater Prudhoe Area. The 2016 Alaska DNR letter describes formation-level producing areas and techniques such as well work,sidetracks,enhanced oil recovery,voidage replacement,and water injection pilots. Production is exported through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System to Valdez. No project-specific LNG plant,offshore platform,or subsea system exists.</p>

<h2>Production and Reserves</h2>
<p>Global Energy Monitor reported 2020 hydrocarbon production of 10.82 million barrels of oil equivalent per year. Alaska Business Magazine reported that from April 2021 to March 2022,the area produced approximately 146 billion cubic feet of gas and 9.6 million barrels of oil,with average daily oil production of 29,797 barrels per day. Most recent production came from Point McIntyre and Lisburne; Combined Niakuk and Raven contributed 3.8% from April 2023 to March 2024,and North Prudhoe Bay and West Beach were shut-in. ConocoPhillips reported 2024 average net production for the Greater Prudhoe Area (not only this project) of 67 thousand barrels per day of crude oil,15 thousand barrels per day of NGLs,and 36 million cubic feet per day of natural gas net to ConocoPhillips. Current field-specific reserves are not clearly confirmed in public sources.</p>

<h2>Recent Developments</h2>
<p>In 2024,Alaska regulators approved the 2024 plan of development,which included two rotary wells and potential sidetracks at Point McIntyre,a Lisburne rotary well,and two Brookian wells. In September 2025,the Alaska Department of Natural Resources approved the 2025 plan effective through September 2026. In January 2026,the Prudhoe Bay Unit operator changed from Hilcorp North Slope LLC to Hilcorp Alaska LLC. Regulatory scrutiny continued: in 2024,the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ordered Hilcorp to pay penalties related to well integrity testing and unauthorized injections in North Slope oil pools.</p>
