Northern Oilfield Solutions provides fuel, lubricants, water, methanol and related support services to customers on the North Slope.  Now in its fifth decade, NOS has deep experience meeting the unique challenges of resource and development operations in the Arctic.

In 1973 NANA Regional Corporation was started.  From Alaska’s North Slope to the Gulf of Mexico, their companies provide offshore platform operations and maintenance, facilities design and construction fabrication, engineering and project management, and indigenous engagement. In 1975, NANA created NANA Oilfield Services, Inc. (NOSI) to provide North Slope producers and contractors with diesel, gasoline and aviation fuels, along with Chevron lubricants that keep equipment in optimum running condition, even when temperatures dip to minus 50 degrees and wind chill factors of minus 80.

NOSI’s strategically located 11-acre oilfield service complex near Deadhorse made it an attractive compliment to NorthStar Energy’s existing terminal and distribution network. Saltchuk purchased NOSI in 2016 and welcomed it into the NorthStar Energy family of Alaska businesses. In 2019, NOSI formally changed its name to Northern Oilfield Solutions.

Today NOSI serves North Slope customers as a part of the cohesive NorthStar Energy network.  Deep experience in North Slope operations and bulk fuel and lubricant delivery is now augmented by expert mindshare from Inlet Energy’s renowned team of Certified Lubrication Specialists (CLS) and Oil Monitoring Analysts (OMA). Customers can also go through NOS to purchase methanol imported to Alaska’s only methanol terminal, operated by sister company Delta Western in the Port of Anchorage.
