Our Mission Statement:
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 analysis 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.
