"A federal judge on Monday declined to stop ConocoPhillips from beginning construction work this season at the Willow oil field in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.

The conservation groups seeking a preliminary injunction did not show that this year’s work at the field in northern Alaska will “irreparably harm” their members, according to the 44-page order from U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason.

The decision is expected to allow ConocoPhillips to immediately begin work extracting gravel from a mine and building a three-mile road toward the Willow project area."
