Crude Reality

What David Masiel is describing in his Outside piece is the placement in 1985 of the KIC oil well at the mouth of the Jago. He delivered it. It's the only test well ever drilled in ANWR. Four years later I electofished the Jago River upstream looking for nine-spine sticklebacks. Masiel still thinks like an oil worker and I like a biologist. Gentlemen draw your swords.
