The Alaska Division of Oil and Gas has approved a Plan of Operations for Hilcorp Alaska to develop a new pad outside Ninilchik to support natural gas drilling operations.
The most recent wells would be located in the Ninilchik Unit, on the west side of the Sterling Highway. Under the operational plan, the company will build the approximately 1.78-acre pad and drill wells directionally to target natural gas discovered offshore, according to the operational plan.
