Trans-Alaska Pipeline
RSS800-mile crude oil pipeline operated by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company from Pump Station 1 at Prudhoe Bay to the Valdez Marine Terminal. Commissioned 1977. Owned by a consortium of major oil producers (ConocoPhillips, BP/Hilcorp, ExxonMobil). Throughput has declined from its 1988 peak of 2.1 million barrels/day to roughly 500,000 today, raising long-term operational and integrity-management questions.
