It's a common mistake, even here in the US. Nearly everyone has heard of Anchorage, but fewer people are familiar with Juneau. Similarly, people often mistake New York City as the capital of New York (actually Albany), Chicago as the capital of Illinois (actually Springfield), Philadelphia/ Pittsburgh as the capital of Pennsylvania (actually Harrisburg), Seattle as the capital of Washington (actually Olympia), and Los Angeles/ San Diego/ San Francisco as the capital of California (actually Sacramento).

Capitals are often intentionally chosen to be smaller cities in America. A capital city being the largest is very much the exception, not the rule.

I worked at Deadhorse for almost 10 years in the 70's and 80's my family and I lived in Anchorage. I remember having to change some outside lights for safety reasons and the chill factor was about -130 this day, we tried to avoid working outside when the chill got to -100. One of the cool parts of the job was when I had to drive on the sea ice to get to the drilling islands, basically no noise except for the sound of the engine.

I discovered Deadhorse while looking up light pollution for nighttime photography (I’m in Buffalo, NY). I got curious and zoomed out, wanting to see just how much brighter the larger cities of Chicago, Philly, NYC etc looked… then zoomed out more and discovered that something at the top of Alaska was the largest and brightest in North America. It’s the oil fields and Deadhorse. Literally dwarfs major cities at night. I’m astounded. Been binge watching videos ever since.

As a 37 year Prudhoe Bay oilfield worker....yes, still working there, and most of my career is in production. You look like you never left the area around the airport, and therefore, really saw nothing but stacked out rigs, and service camps. The real oilfield is much nicer looking, and way more interesting. You were in the place old rigs go to die. Basically storage pads and camps to service the field.

Thank you for sharing this. I have lived in Dutch Harbor (Unalaska), Alaska my entire life, but we're so far south that it never even drops below -12C (10F), and I wanted to see a real Arctic Winter. Before returning back to Dutch Harbor while I was off the island, I booked a mileage ticket up to Prudhoe Bay in early January. I walked around the town from Brooks Camp to the Aurora and back, and visited the store. I didn't get to explore any facilities though. During the day it was -39C (-38F) with a windchill of -48C (-55C), but later it was -38C with stronger winds so it was -55C (-67F) with the windchill.

"Ironically, the oil cannot be refined on site" It used to be, to a degree. There used to be a small single product refinery called a "topping plant" which produced Diesel fuel for local use. When Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel was mandated, the plant could not produce that product, and couldn't be economically upgraded to do so. So now, all diesel fuel used on the slope is trucked up from (I think) Valdez.

To make concrete they mine gravel locally, and make mix concrete out of it with the cement. The temperature is (mostly) above freezing for 3-4 months a year. And in a pinch, concrete can be poured when the air temperature is below freezing. It just takes more work.

I'm not going to say that it never happens, or that there's no alcohol there , but it would be rarer than encountering a drunk in any other place in the US. The reason is that the jobs on the slope pay quite well, and most have the benefit of having every 2 weeks off. The oil companies, and by extension, their contractors, have a zero tolerance policy for alcohol. Drinking will cause you to be terminated immediately, so those who do drink alcohol, do it very discretely, or they do not keep their jobs for long.

I never said anything about laws, and when I say town I don't mean like an official "incorporated" town. I just mean the town of Deadhorse, I've been up here working for many years, decades and we've always referred to Deadhorse as town.. But it is dry. Brooks does not sell alcohol, and it is prohibited. So yes it's ok.. a dry community.. better? And yes, I suppose if you fly up on the commercial Alaska flight you can bring a bottle of alcohol in your checked bag, if your a tourist and have no work business up here. If you come up on the charter bags get checked for drugs, alcohol and weapons if found you get a trip back home and an invitation to never come back.

@@ryant3600 Meh, A place where there are no laws against alcohol, is not dry. Those companies who are not beholden to the oil companies are not under any obligation to have similar policies. There are a few, .ave you been around long enough to recall Cape Smythe Air? They had a hangar there on the field, with employee residences. They don't do any work for oil companies, so weren't under the oil companies thumb. Their employees had drinks after work, perfectly legally. If, hypothetically, a trooper responded to that place for some reason while they were sitting around with beers, nobody would be in trouble, the beers would not be confiscated, because, unlike a dry place, the beers were perfectly legal. I'm sure if we through about it, we could come up with a few other employers in a similar situation.

Oh lord, please don’t say that

Wait in Europe you pay 100% more than Deadhorse? Last time I was up there diesel was almost 8$ per gallon, that's 2 euros per liter.

Correct. Even bonkers US prices are cheap to us. That said, many of our cars do 50-70mpg.
