The Oooguruk offshore oil field is located in the North Slope of Alaska, about 250km southeast of Barrow, five miles offshore from Harrison Bay in the Beaufort Sea.
The project consists of three major components: an offshore drill site (ODS); an onshore interconnect and production support facility (OTP); and a system of flowlines, power cables, and communications cables connecting the onshore and offshore facilities.
The offshore drill site is a six-acre, 4m-high artificial gravel island about 9km from the shoreline.
Onshore facilities consist of production, power and control, and operations support modules. The production modules include a two-phase production separator, production heaters, two multiphase production meters and injection gas compressors.
