"Abstract
In the challenging North Slope operating environment, use of innovative production equipment has provided solutions to zonal isolation and packer integrity problems in viscous oil reservoirs. Operators have employed new tools and technology utilizing expandable rubber materials to manage annular fluid flow, control solids/shale production, and achieve zonal isolation in wells where high costs, shallow depths, and long step-outs create unique completion challenges. The new technology is allowing once bypassed zones to be added to existing developments, and making future developments more economically viable..."

"Alaska's Alpine oil field has been developed exclusively with horizontal wells, and it has employed EOR to maintain average production of nearly 100,000 bopd over the past two years. Reservoir depths average 7,000 ft, vertical, with well depths ranging from 9,000 ft to 19,000 ft. Wells have become more complex and challenging as field development progresses...
