(6) The fleet required to support and service the offshore rigs 

 would range from 3 to 18 boats during exploration to about 21 

 boats during the peak development phase. 



(7) Total onshore land requirements would be from 1,339 to 1,519 

 acres. 



(8) Two new onshore terminals and two production treatment facilities 

 would be constructed. The remaining petroleum production 



would be handled by existing facilities. 60 

 The location of support and supply facilities, crude oil terminal 

 sites, and onshore production treatment facilities in lower Cook Inlet 

 will depend upon the location of producing oil and gas fields. Potential 

 support and supply facilities will likely be sited in the Homer, Kenai, 

 the Seldovia-Port Graham areas, and at Seward (Fig. 6). Potential crude 

 oil terminal and treatment facilities will likely be located in the 

 Seldovia-English Bay-Port Graham area and in the Cape Douglas area for 

 discoveries in the southern part of the lease sale area. For discoveries 

 in the northern part of the sale area, crude oil terminal and treatment 

 facilities will probably be located in the Anchor Point area and on the 

 west side of the Inlet. Present terminal and storage facilities at 

 Nikinki and Drift River may also be used if oil and gas is produced in 

 the northern part of the leasing area. A proposed (by Pacific 

 Alaska LNG Co.) LNG facility near Kenai could also be used to transship 

 lower Cook natural gas. 



There will be substantial increases in population and employment 

 resulting from the development of lower Cook Inlet petroleum resources. 

 Particularly hard hit will be the small towns and villages located in
