Alyeska Pipeline Service Company
Alyeska Pipeline Service Company
Alyeska Pipeline Service Company was formed in 1970 by a consortium of oil companies to lead the design and construction of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), and then operate and maintain TAPS after its startup. Over the next seven years, Alyeska staff and hundreds of workers, contractor companies, and advocates made construction, engineering, American and Alaska history: On June 20, 1977, TAPS moved its first oil.
Today, TAPS has moved more than 18 billion barrels of oil from Alaska’s North Slope to Valdez, all behind the work of Alyeska’s staff and its contractor partners. More than 50 years after Alyeska’s creation and more than 45 years since the iconic pipeline’s startup, Alyeska and its staff continue the legacy of innovation and determination in the face of challenges. They also stay focused on safe, flawless TAPS operations and sustainability, upholding an unrelenting pride in protecting Alaska’s environment, and embodying the hard work that built TAPS and remains uniquely Alaskan. Teamwork, technology, reliability, and integrity aren’t just words at Alyeska: they are organization values.
