Analysis of Projected Crude Oil Production in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge">Analysis of Projected Crude Oil Production in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
(Wed, 23 May 2018) In December 2017, the passage of Public Law 115-97 required the Secretary of the Interior to establish and administer a competitive oil and natural gas program for the leasing, development, production, and transportation of oil and natural gas in and from the Coastal Plain (Section 1002 Area) of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Previously, ANWR was effectively under a drilling moratorium. Because this law was passed after the modeling for the <em>Annual Energy Outlook 2018</em> (AEO2018) was completed, this article investigates the impact of this law change on the Reference case projections in the AEO2018.
