** ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND APRIL 30-May 1 ** In this undated photo provided ConocoPhillips, two ConocoPhillips emploees overlook pipelines on the West Sak oil field on Alaska's North Slope. BP and ConocoPhillips are betting that heavy oil in Alaska will result in a big payoff. Heavy oil, which has the consistency of thick molasses instead of olive oil, lies in sandstone above the huge reservoir of North Slope light oil that has been flowing down the trans-Alaska pipeline since 1977. With that reservoir being drawn down, the Texas-based companies are turning to hard-to-pump heavy oil to extend the life of the oil fields. (AP Photo/ConocoPhillips, Judy Patrick)
