COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON D.C. 2051 B-199626 July 18, 1980 The Honorable Henry M. Jackson Chairman, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate The Honorable Mark 0. Hatfield 112867 Ranking Minority Member Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate Subject: /,Oil and Gas Potential in the William 0. cDouglas Arctic Wildlife Range((EMD-80-104) As you requested on June 10, 1980, supplemented by dis- cussions with your office, we examined the Interior Department's study of the oil and gas potential of the William 0. Douglas Arctic Wildlife Range in northeast Alaska to assure that all pertinent data is being provided to the Committee without modification or change. We examined all data made available to us and spoke with people involved in the study. Unfortunately, our review was hampered by the Department's refusal to provide copies of all documentation. We were allowed to examine the data but were not given copies of pertinent reports and other documents. We satisfied ourselves, however, that the data presented in Interior's July 10, 1980, report to your Committee accu- rately reflects the data developed by the experts in the Geological Survey, and that the experts were given full lati- tude in developing the information. In addition, the Survey's team followed the approach requested by your Committee, and-- given the absence of any seismic (i.e., geophysical) or any subsurface drilling data on the Wildlife Range itself--did the best they could with what they had. Interior's public report on the results, however, is highly condensed and ex- cludes certain data that would seem highly relevant in any assessment of the Range's oil and gas potential. (008955)
