Russia routinely uses ice breaker oil tankers in the Arctic, can't see why this would be any different.

why would Russia bother? Those icebreakers haven't produced a drop in the Arctic, why would they bother with a region a thousand times more difficult. The Russian have other problems on their plate such as NATO.

Gazprom Neft began production at the Prirazlomnoye field in 2013 and reached commercial figures last year, with a total output of roughly 5,000 barrels per day (bpd). With production well number two (of 19) now online, output should reach somewhere between 10,000-15,000 bpd by year’s end.
At the Prirazlomnoye field, the Russian institute Omskneftekhimproekt has begun work on the modernization of the rig’s drilling installations, technological equipment, and safety and telecommunications systems. The primary objectives are to boost production capacity (to ~120,000 bpd) toward 2020 and lay the building blocks for the future development of Russian-sourced platforms.

Those are platitudes, not solutions. It would cost $trillions to produce Antarctic oil yet I don't see any NOC, independent, or integrated oil company with money up front.

The Arctic is a piece of cake, with it infrastructure in place. and surrounded by heavily produced oil fields . . . think Norway, Russia. The Antarctic might as well be Saturn. And we might as well be dreaming about space methane lol
