There are a lot of fault lines in Alaska, and it appears some in the Refuge area (?) Although there is a higher concentration of faults in the South than in the far north.....If I am reading the map correctly.
Also that region is pretty close to the edge of the North American Craton. That makes me wonder if it might be unstable for deep drilling.

It's very sad that the lust for oil intends to damage pristine wilderness and all its inhabitants. There is not a lot of that kind of wilderness about on this over-populated Earth nowadays and they are the most blessed and wonderful places. What do we need all that oil for? To travel even quicker to destroy more of the Earth? Or just to line some guys' pockets with even more money?
So sad. They should send those oil magnates up there on a survival course in the wilderness for two months.
