The company hired veteran explorers Rick Jason and Matt Fiddler, tasked with a basin‑wide review that incorporated newly licensed 3D seismic—Schrader Bluff and Great Bear—as well as historic well logs. This effort, spanning 12‑18 months, fed into the November 2025 bid round where 88 secured South Prudhoe leases, focusing on the underexplored Northwest Hub adjacent to the Kuparuk River and Prudhoe Bay super‑giants.
