laska’s oil and gas industry has come a long way since Humble Oil and ARCO confirmed North America’s most significant oil discovery in 1968, transforming Alaska’s economy overnight. Since Prudhoe Bay’s historical development, the oil and gas industry has pumped a staggering amount of money into the state. The list of companies that have been involved in Alaska’s oil and gas industry is also staggering, nearly as long as the trans-Alaska Pipeline itself. This list includes numerous Alaskan-owned oil field service companies, many of which have been critical to the oil industry’s success.
In 2018 alone the primary companies paid $4.4 billion to approximately 1,000 Alaska support services companies. Mckinley’s report defines Alaska companies as either based in the state, with resident and non-resident employees, or based Outside but with a satellite office and employees in state.
Delta Constructors has experienced growth despite what it describes as a retracting industry. “Opportunities for construction have remained relatively flat on the North Slope, with a new drill site installed approximately every other year,” the spokesperson says, noting the exception is the 2015 Point Thomson facility installation project in which Delta participated. “Before this, major construction projects for expansion on the Slope were abundant.”
Delta points to the GHX-1 and GHX-2 projects in the late ’90s, Alpine and Northstar in the early 2000s, the Pioneer Natural Resources Ooguruk installation in 2007, and the Eni Petroleum Nikaitchuq facility installation in 2011.
