The union of teams two and three ("team e") plans to research,
develop, and present a hydrocarbon exploration and production strategy
that is complete, detailed, creative, and feasible and which seeks to
optimally balance environmental impact with economic gain. By complete
we mean a hydrocarbon procurement strategy that traces hydrocarbon resources
through every phase of their development within ANWR, specifically addressing
a) the location of recoverable hydrocarbon resources in the 1002 region,
b) the delivery of those resources to the surface, and c) the transportation
of recovered hydrocarbons out of ANWR, all the while d) taking into
account all necessary set-up, equipment, labor, transport, byproducts,
clean-up, restoration, and other essential processes related to the
logistics of hydrocarbon development and the mitigation of environmental
impact. Our final product must include explanations for design choices
we made along the way and defend such decisions with research into multiple
methods and our analyses of them. In order to fully succeed in the project,
we must engage in productive critical exchange with the related Mission
2007 teams in a valiant effort to reach the best possible design.
