ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI) is submitting permit applications to the appropriate governmental agencies for permission to drill a series of exploration wells south of the Kuparuk Drillsite 1-J. We plan to use the Arctic Fox drilling rig and expect it to be available from our partner in March and April of 2006. We plan to drill Antigua #1 this winter and depending on the results of the well we may drill additional wells in the future.

This project is outside the State of Alaska Coastal Zone boundary and therefore did not require an ACMP review.
