About Narwhal Exploration

Narwhal Exploration is an independent oil and gas exploration company focused on Alaska's North Slope—one of North America's premier hydrocarbon provinces and most technically demanding operating environments. STRATEGIC POSITION ON THE NORTH SLOPE Our 170,000-acre West Harrison Bay project is strategically positioned between Santos' Pikka discovery and ConocoPhillips' Willow field, in the heart of recent exploration success targeting the prolific Nanushuk Formation. The North Slope has produced over 18 billion barrels since Prudhoe Bay's 1968 discovery. Our exploration strategy leverages decades of geological understanding with modern technical analysis. West Harrison Bay benefits from extensive regional datasets, proximity to proven hydrocarbon systems, and direct geological analogs to the Nanushuk discoveries of Pikka and Willow, both of which have passed FID. ARCTIC TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES Operating on the North Slope requires specialized knowledge: winter-only drilling using ice pad infrastructure, winterized land rigs in extreme temperatures, Arctic-specific environmental protocols, Alaska regulatory compliance, and meaningful engagement with Alaska Native communities and subsistence users. Our team brings decades of combined North Slope experience, understanding both the geological opportunity and operational realities of Arctic operations. RESPONSIBLE ARCTIC DEVELOPMENT We're committed to development that honors Alaska's environment and communities. Our exploration approach emphasizes minimal environmental footprint through winter-only operations, ice-based infrastructure, and proven Arctic drilling techniques refined over decades. MOVING FORWARD Narwhal Exploration is planning a 2026-2027 winter exploration drilling campaign targeting the prolific Nanushuk and Torok formations in our West Harrison Bay acreage, applying technical excellence, Arctic operational expertise, and responsible development practices to unlock new energy opportunities.
