Operations

Glacier is one of the only operators in Alaska that can be found in both Cook Inlet and the North Slope. Our Cook Inlet assets boast both on and offshore units: the West Mac Arthur River Unit (onshore) and the Redoubt Unit accessed through the Osprey Platform (offshore). On the Slope, Glacier operates the Badami Unit, with the Grey Owl Unit currently in development. Glacier owns drilling, production and transportation infrastructure associated with each of our fields, such as the common carrier Nutaaq Pipeline. We are constantly on the lookout to leverage our substantial processing and transportation capacity for new growth opportunities.
