The gas leak was detected last Friday, according to a statement from ConocoPhillips, which said it took steps Monday to relocate non-essential personnel. The company described the leak as being below the surface and said the cause was under investigation.
Grace Salazar, a special assistant with the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, said Wednesday that the commission that oversees oil and gas drilling in the state is investigating the matter.
The company, in a statement dated Tuesday and provided to The Associated Press on Wednesday by spokesperson Michael Walter, said there were “no reports of injury or environmental impact to the tundra or wildlife. Air quality continues to be monitored, and no natural gas has been detected outside of the CD1 pad.”
