Fossil Fuel and Geothermal Energy Sources for Local Use in Alaska Chapter C, Bering Straits SUMMARY OF FOSSIL FUEL AND GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN THE BERING STRAITS ENERGY REGION by Simone Montayne, Marwan Wartes, and James Clough 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 price 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 Bering Straits Energy Region (fig. C1), 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 Bering Straits Energy Region is located along the western coast of Alaska (sheet 1). It encompasses the northwest and southern portions of the Seward Peninsula, extends south along the Norton Sound coast to a few miles north of Point Romanof and spans south and eastward 10 to 60 miles from the coast. The region also includes Saint Lawrence Island, King Island, and various other nearshore islands. The region’s largest community is Nome, with a current population of nearly 3,500 residents. Other sizable communities include Unalakleet, Savoonga, Gambell, Shishmaref, and Stebbins, with populations ranging from nearly 800 to less than 600 residents. Smaller populations occupy 11 other permanent villages. Much of the Bering Straits Energy Region’s landscape consists of rolling highlands with gentle slopes. Exceptions include several rugged mountain ranges on the Seward Figure C1. Location map of Bering Straits Energy Region.
