ConocoPhillips' Willow Project: Green Light for Alaskan Energy Boost Amid Controversy
On Friday, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) disclosed that it is moving forward with developing the Willow project in Alaska.
週五，康菲石油公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：COP）透露，它正在推進阿拉斯加的Willow項目的開發。
The Final Investment Decision approved the project and funds for construction needed to reach the first oil.
最終投資決定批准了開採第一批石油所需的項目和建設資金。
The decision follows the Department of the Interior March 2023 Record of Decision and recent positive court orders, including this week's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denial of plaintiffs' request for an injunction.
該裁決是在內政部2023年3月的裁決記錄和最近的積極法院命令之後作出的，包括本週第九巡迴上訴法院駁回原告的禁令請求。
In November, COP reportedly received judicial endorsement for its ambitious Willow oil project, with the decision marking a notable setback for environmental advocates who have been contesting the project due to its potential environmental impact.
據報道，11月，COP雄心勃勃的Willow石油項目獲得了司法認可，該決定標誌着因其潛在的環境影響而一直對該項目提出異議的環保倡導者來說，這是一個顯著的挫折。
"We are excited to reach this significant milestone. With this project authorization, we've begun winter construction and Alaskans have started to receive the benefits from responsible energy development." said Ryan Lance, chairman and chief executive officer.
“我們很高興達到這一重要里程碑。有了這個項目的授權，我們已經開始了冬季建設，阿拉斯加人也開始從負責任的能源開發中受益。” 董事長兼首席執行官瑞安·蘭斯說。
As per the Bureau of Land Management, the Willow project is expected to deliver revenue of $8 billion-$17 billion for the federal government, the state of Alaska and Native communities.
根據土地管理局的數據，Willow項目預計將爲聯邦政府、阿拉斯加州和原住民社區帶來80億至170億美元的收入。
After completion, the project is estimated to produce around 600 million barrels throughout its lifetime, reducing dependency on foreign energy supplies.
建成後，預計該項目在其整個生命週期內將生產約6億桶，從而減少了對外國能源供應的依賴。
Willow project is created through materials mainly made and sourced in the U.S. and can potentially create over 2,500 construction jobs and around 300 long-term jobs.
Willow項目主要使用在美國製造和採購的材料創建，有可能創造超過2,500個建築工作崗位和約300個長期工作崗位。
