The Department of Natural Resources has launched the Alaska CCUS
Hubsite, a powerful new tool designed to support data availability for resource industry
explorers, technical professionals and the public. This site delivers a centralized, user-friendly
platform that brings together decades of geological, technical and regulatory data from across
the entire state to inform carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) opportunities.
The Alaska CCUS Hubsite offers access to well data, seismic surveys, land information and
spatial data - making it an essential resource for companies and individuals engaged in carbon
storage or oil and gas exploration. This online tool will aid in site selection, project development
and research by consolidating information that was previously scattered across multiple
agencies. The database streamlines the process of evaluating subsurface conditions, identifying
promising storage reservoirs and understanding the regulatory landscape for new ventures.
Industry explorers will find the hubsite especially valuable for its depth of technical detail and
ease of use. Whether assessing the feasibility of new projects, reviewing historical production
data or planning future exploration campaigns, users can quickly access the information they
need to make informed decisions. The platform also supports collaboration between
government, academia, and private sector partners, fostering innovation and efficiency in
Alaska’s resource industries.
“The Alaska CCUS Hubsite is an exciting new resource for explorers and developers,” said
Commissioner-designee Crowther at the Department of Natural Resources.?“By making
critical technical data and regulatory information available in one place, we’re helping unlock
new opportunities and drive responsible development across the state.”
The project was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The DNR
Division of Oil & Gas partnered with the DNR Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys, the
Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission, the Alaska Center for Energy & Power at the
University of Alaska, Fairbanks and Alaska Resource Education on this tool. Work on the
database hubsite was performed by local contractors from HDR.
“We successfully leveraged federal funding and brought Alaska organizations together to
provide the public with information for carbon storage and other resource industries,” said
Haley Paine, Deputy Director of the Alaska Division of Oil and Gas. “This will help advance
the development of Alaska’s natural resources in both established and emerging industries.”
With its public launch, the Alaska CCUS Hubsite sets a new standard for transparency and
accessibility in resource management.
