Resource Development in Arctic Regions
Abstract Hydrocarbon basins in global arctic regions hold significant resources with economic potential to support an array of economic sectors including energy, transportation, petrochemical, agricultural, and manufacturing industries. Due to the harsh physical environment, northern and arctic regi...
