Conoco has wrapped up its 2018 winter exploration program in Alaska.

The company's original plan was to drill five wells on the Western North Slope comprising two appraisal wells of the Willow Discovery announced in January 2017, plus three exploration wells. Due to improved drilling efficiencies, the company was able to drill a total of six wells, including an additional Willow appraisal well.

All six wells plus a sidetrack encountered oil and verified the potential of the play.

The three Willow appraisal wells support the previously announced estimate of a recoverable resource potential of at least 300 million barrels of oil.
