Alaska's oil production is declining.
Alaska oil production began with the Cook Inlet oil fields (near Anchorage!) in the
1960s. But it was the North Slope oil fields that made Alaska a major oil producer.
North Slope oil production began after the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was completed in
1977, and grew very rapidly to a peak of about 2 million barrels per day in 1988.
Production has since fallen by more than two-thirds, to 0.6 million barrels per day in
2011, as oil has been pumped out of the huge Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk fields.
