This facilitated the development of the North Slope and shallow water offshore fields such as North Star which peaked in 1988 at about 738 million barrels per annum, about 25% of total U.S. production. Unlike the offshore shallow water Prudhoe Bay...

... constructed on permafrost. In the arctic oil patch, thermosyphons have been used since the 1970’s with the largest single application being on the vertical support members for the Trans Alaska Pipeline that traverses Alaska. Early thermosyphon devices were installed vertically, and then in 1978, thermosyphons...
