INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

This report contains Bureau of Mines routine crude-oil analyses of

20 samples from5 areas on the arctic slope of Alaska. Two samples were condensates from the South Barrow gasfield, Barrow Lakes area. The remaining

18 samples were crude oils from the following areas: Barrow Lakes, 1 seepage

sample; Umiat, 10 well samples; Cape Simpson, 1 seepage sample and 3 well

samples; Fish Creek, 2 well samples; and Wolf Creek, 1 well sample.

Table 1 summarizes information on the origin of the crude-oil samples,

and table 2 summarizes characteristics of the samples. Item numbers in both

tables correspond to item numbers of the analyses at the end of this report,

and the samples are referred to by these numbers throughout the text.

Inspection data are presented for straight-run gasolines prepared from

condensate produced from the South Barrow gasfield; gasoline and diesel fuel

from Umiat crude oil; diesel fuels from Cape Simpson crude oils; and diesel

fuels, viscous distillates, and residua from Fish Creek crude oils.

Physical characteristics are given for 19 oil-seepage samples obtained

by a Bureau of Mines oil-reconnaissance party in 1943. A map is included

showing approximately where all of the samples were obtained.

The analyses given in this report show that the oils produced in the

five areas vary greatly in physical characteristics and chemical composition.

The extremes in characteristics are represented by a sample from Fish Creek

with specific gravity 0.974, color brownish black, and Saybolt viscosity at

100° F. of 3,650 seconds and a sample from Umiat with specific gravity 0.839,

color NPA 4-1/2, and Saybolt viscosity at 100° F. of 36 seconds. Sulfur content of these samples ranged from less than 0.10 weight-percent for most of

the samples from Umiat to 1.92 weight-percent for a sample from Fish Creek.

OBJECTIVES

This report results from the Bureau of Mines program for obtaining analyses of crude oils from areas throughout the world. The analyses are used in

engineering, geological, and other scientific studies. In addition, the

Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves needed information on the

quantity and quality of products obtainable from Alaska crude oils. To satisfy this need, routine crude-oil analyses were made on 19 samples and several

gasolines, diesel fuels, and other products made and tested for yield and

quality.

CHRONOLOGY OF ALASKA OIL SAMPLES

The first Alaska crude-oil sample received by the Bureau of Mines for

analysis was submitted in November 1938, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

United States Department of the Interior, by the Field Service, Juneau, Alaska.

ANALYSES OF ALASKA SEEPAGE SAMPLES

The first Alaska crude-oil sample analyzed by the Bureau of Mines was received in November 1938. Correspondence received with the sample stated that

the source was an extensive seepage in the Barrow Lakes area, from which oil

was being produced and used locally for heating. An analysis of the oil is

included as item 1, sample 38458, in the analyses at the end of this report.

The next samples were collected during August and September 1943 by a Bureau of Mines oil-reconnaissance party. Of 19 samples submitted, most were oil

and water, with gravel,sand, and other insoluble material. Table 3 summarizes

the properties determined, which were limited because of the small quantities

of oil in the samples. Data were determined on solvent-extracted material

when extraction was necessary to give a relatively clean oil. Ebbley (1)4/

described in detail the region where the samples were obtained. Data for samples 1 and 10 that could not be included conveniently in table 3 follow:

A routine crude-oil analysis of the sample, obtained from an oil seepage in

the Barrow Lakes area, is included as item 1 in tables 1 and 2 and in the

analyses appearing at the end of this report.

In 1943 a Bureau of Mines oil-reconnaissance party collected 19 samples

from oil seepages on the arctic slope of Alaska and submitted them for analysis. The characteristics of these samples and of bituminous material extracted from them are described in the following section of this report.

From June 1946 to January 1951 the Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil

Shale Reserves, United States Department of the Navy, submitted 17 crude oils

and 2 condensate samples to be analyzed. The 2 condensate samples were produced from gas wells in the South Barrow gasfield; 10 of the crude-oil samples were from test wells in the Umiat area; I was from an oil seepage in the

Cape Simpson area; 3 were from test wells in the Cape Simpson area; 2 were

from test wells in the Fish Creek area; and 1 was from a test well in the

Wolf Creek area. The map (fig. 1) shows approximately where the samples were

obtained, for which routine analyses (items 2 through 20) are included.

Gasolines were prepared from samples from the South Barrow condensate and

Umiat crude oil; diesel fuels from Umiat, Cape Simpson, and Fish Creek crude -41 - » - Ao / -t-- T I^ f t A - -- 1-t --++- ^ ' ^--Af _-LAj-\^f « -P --- / w ?- q n-k 1 " U ", - u --'I-r.r -

In 1948 the Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves submitted a

sample obtained from an oil seepage in the Cape Simpson area. The analysis of

this oil is included as item 14.

ANALYSES OF ALASKA WELL SAMPLES

In 1946 the first sample of oil from drilling activity in Alaska was received for analysis. This sample (item 4) and 17 other samples received during the period 1946-50 were submitted at the request of the Office of Naval

Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves. A history of the exploration and drilling

that resulted in the production represented by the samples has been published

by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves (.

South Barrow Condensate Samples

Two samples were submitted from wells in the South Barrow gasfield. In

January 1950 a sample taken from the high-pressure separator at South Barrow

well 2 was analyzed (item 2). Information submitted with the sample stated

that the well was predominantly a gas-producing well and that only a small

quantity of liquid was being produced. In January 1951 a second condensate

sample was received from South Barrow well 4 (item 3).

Figure 2 shows correlation-index curves (4) for the two condensate samples (items 2 and 3) and the seepage sample (item 1) obtained from the same

locality in 1938. The two condensate samples have similar gravity-boiling

point relationships, as indicated by the correlation-index curves, although

their percentage yields at equal distillation temperatures differ considerably.

Table 4 gives inspection data for a gasoline prepared from the second

condensate, sample 51027 (item 3).

Umiat Samples

Ten samples ranging in size from 1 pint to 5 gallons were received from

the Umiat area. The first sample was obtained from Umiat test well 1 from a

20-foot head of oil above an ice plug at 775 feet. The routine analysis of

this oil (item 4, sample 46064) is unique among the 10 Umiat analyses included

in this report; the other 9 were similar to each other but definitely different

from sample 46064.

In November 1946 a sample (item 5) from Umiat test well 3 (originally

called Umiat Ruby cable-tool test No. 1) was received. In March 1947 a second

sample from test well 3 was received; in addition to the routine analysis

(item 6) a gasoline and diesel fuel were prepared, data for which are given

in table 5.

Seven other Umiat samples were analyzed between June 1950 and December

1952. Two samples (items 7 and 8) were from test well 4, one sample (item 9)

was from test well 8, one sample (item 10) was from test well 5, and three

samples (items 11-13) were from test well 10.

The 10 samples from Umiat represent only 2 types of oil, as shown in figure 3, where correlation-index data from 6 analyses are plotted on a comparative basis; the 4 analyses omitted from figure 3 for clarity are similar to

analyses of the samples for which data are shown in the upper part of figure 3

The distinct differences between the sample from well 1 and the other Umiat

samples are caused not only by weathering but also by a basic difference in

types of hydrocarbons present. The CI curves in figure 3 show that the sample

from well 1 was a paraffinic-type crude oil, whereas the samples from the

other wells were high in naphthenes or aromatics.

Cape Simpson Samples

Four samples from the Cape Simpson area were analyzed. In 1948 a sample

described as an oil-seepage sample was submitted, and the routine analysis

(item 14) indicated that the oil was very similar to the oil from Barrow Lakes

(item 1). In August 1950 a sample recovered from the mud ditch at Simpson core

hole 26 was analyzed (item 15), and in October 1950 a sample from the same wel

after oil flow had begun was analyzed (item 16). In April 1951 a sample from

core hole 31 was analyzed (item 17). The routine analyses and correlation-index

curves (fig. 4) for these oils indicate that they are similar.

Table 6 gives inspection data for diesel fuels prepared from two of the

samples.

Fish Creek Samples

Two crude-oil samples (items 18 and 19) from Fish Creek well 1 were received in May and June 1949. The samples were similar, as indicated by their

routine analyses and correlation-index curves shown in figure 5.

Inspection data for diesel fuels, viscous distillates, and residua prepared from the Fish Creek samples are given in tables 7, 8, and 9, respectively

Wolf Creek Sample

In November 1952 a sample from Wolf Creek well 3 was analyzed (item 20).

Figure 6 shows a correlation-index curve for the sample. In figure 7 this

curve is compared with similar curves for samples from other areas of Alaska.

CONCLUSIONS

Three distinct types of crude oil are represented by the 18 samples from

5 areas of Alaska: (1) The highly aromatic or naphthenic crude oils, includin

4 well samples from Cape Simpson and a seepage sample from Barrow Lakes; (2)

samples intermediate in composition, including 9 of the 10 samples from Umiat

and a sample from Wolf Creek; and (3) a paraffinic sample from Umiat well 1.
