Fossil Fuel and Geothermal Energy Sources for Local Use in Alaska Chapter B, Aleutians SUMMARY OF FOSSIL FUEL AND GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN THE ALEUTIANS ENERGY REGION by Paul L. Decker, Robert J. Gillis, Ken Helmold, and Shaun Peterson INTRODUCTION Purpose of this report Economic growth and stability in Alaska’s rural and urban areas hinges partially, if not primarily, on the availability of affordable and sustainable energy supplies. Recent price increases in oil and gas commodities have created severe economic hardship in many areas of the state that are dependent on diesel and heating oil as their primary source of energy. All sectors of Alaska’s economy rely on affordable energy sources with limited pricing volatility, highlighting the need to diversify the energy portfolio by developing locally available and sustainable resources that are not tied to the global market. Unfortunately, all areas are not created equal in energy accessibility; the resources available for local exploitation vary widely across the state. It is critical that funding decisions for expensive programs to reduce the dependence on diesel for heat and electricity take into account information concerning the entire suite of natural resources that exist in a given area. This report draws from existing information to provide community and state leaders an objective summary of our current knowledge concerning the potential of locally exploitable fossil fuel and geothermal energy resources in the Aleutians energy region (fig. B1), one of 11 regions recognized by the Alaska Energy Authority in their Energy Plan (AEA, 2009). The potential geologically hosted energy resources considered here include exploitable coal, conventional and unconventional oil and gas, and geothermal resources. This report concludes with recommendations as to what additional data or strategies, if any, would provide the most leveraging in helping to develop new energy resources in the region. Readers without geological training are encouraged to peruse the geologic summaries of fossil fuel resources and geothermal energy in Chapter A. They provide an overview of the geologic elements that must be present in an area to economically develop coal, conventional oil and gas, unconventional oil and gas, and geothermal resources. These summaries will provide the necessary background to more fully understand the information presented in this chapter. Geographic and geologic setting The Aleutians Energy Development Region extends more than 1,350 miles, including all of the Aleutian Island chain and the southwesternmost Alaska Peninsula to approximately Mt. Veniaminof (fig. 1 and sheet 2). A thin strip along the western coast extends farther northeastward to southwest of Port Heiden. Also included are the remote Pribilof Islands to the north, located more than 200 miles from other land areas, near the middle of the Bering Sea. Energy resources in this region, with the exception of geothermal, are limited to the vicinity of the southwestern tip of the Alaska Peninsula and 3 miles northwest of the coast into the adjacent Bristol Bay. Villages in the Aleutian Development Region range in population from more than 4,000 to only 20 persons; Figure B1. Location map of Aleutians Energy Region.
