Arctic Circle Sherpa on North Slope

Point Lonely to Deadhorse Trips

Arctic Circle's Sherpa made its first trip to the North Slope Oil Fields this week. We flew multiple trips from Point Lonely  to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay carrying freight for ENSR International. (ENSR International is a global provider of environmental and energy development services to industry and government).

Point Lonely, an Air Force Short Range Radar Sight, provided the staging point for freight bound for Deadhorse. The Sherpa performed the task with ease by using its three ton payload for this 100 mile trip from  Point Lonely to Deadhorse.

Arctic Circle Air Service and the Air Logistics Helicopter coordinated with ENSR to transfer freight from a nearby oil pad back to Deadhorse.
