Guided tours of oilfield camps Prudhoe Bay Information Oilfields at Prudhoe Bay produce about 20 percent of the nation's domestic oil supply, through the effort of more than 5,000 individuals involved in drilling, pipeline operations, cargo transportation and other areas of support. The U.S. Census count of 47 residents reflects only residents of Deadhorse or Prudhoe Bay.
Most oilfield workers have residences elsewhere in Alaska or the continental United States.
