Summary
Alaska’s state agency AIDEA is betting big on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, pledging $175 million to hunt for oil with cutting-edge 3-D seismic tech—despite major oil companies staying away. With over 600 square miles already leased, they’re poised to start surveys next winter, hoping to prove there’s oil worth drilling—and bring jobs and cash to the state. Critics question why the state’s taking on the risk private firms are avoiding, while experts say modern data could finally unlock the refuge’s potential—if there’s oil to find.
