Welcome to Alyeska Pipeline Service Company

The 800-mile-long Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is one of the world's largest pipeline systems. Starting in Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope, TAPS stretches through rugged and beautiful terrain to Valdez, the northernmost ice-free port in North America. Since pipeline startup in 1977, Alyeska - TAPS' operator - has successfully transported more than 16 billion barrels of oil.

	*Alyeska supports Valdez High School's Marine Tech program* Each year, the Valdez High School holds a Marine Tech class, with significant support from Alyeska Ship Escort/Response Vessel System. Students begin their training with survival suits in a controlled environment and then move on to a more authentic environment - the SERVS dock. Story

	*Alyeska completes Low Flow Impact Study* Alyeska has completed a comprehensive Low Flow Impact Study (LoFIS) on behalf of the TAPS owners. The study evaluated the potential risks associated with declining throughput and lower oil temperatures and identified mitigation measures. “The study findings make it clear that the technical challenges compound and increase in complexity as throughput declines. The simplest, most direct and cost effective path to dealing with these challenges is to stop the decline by adding more oil.” Low Flow page
