An official decision has yet to be announced, but a report indicated the Biden administration is leaning towards approval of the massive oil and gas development.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - ConocoPhillips Alaska’s oil drilling project, known as the “Willow Project,” is expected to garner final approval by the White House, according to a CNN report.
The controversial project that would tap as much as 600 million barrels of oil on Alaska’s North Slope is expected to be approved by the Biden Administration as early as next week, according to the report. Some drilling has already been approved within the National Petroleum Reserve, which is about the size of Indiana.
