I think it's just a matter of when. The size of the oil reserves there coupled with the decline in wells, I bet there are 150-200 k up there in 15-20 years.

Also once the construction slows, all the camp dudes leave, and all the projects are in production mode like they were in the 80s and it'll settle down and be a decent place to live again if you don't mind the ridiculous coldness.
