Today, TAPS and Alyeska Pipeline reached another significant milestone. The 19 billionth barrel of Alaska North Slope Crude began its journey down the Trans Alaska Pipeline System from Pump Station 1 in Prudhoe Bay at approximately 1 a.m. Later in the day, some of our PS1 crew even got out to the Milepost 0 sign to mark the occasion with a few photos!
“An often-referenced quote from the TAPS construction era goes, ‘They didn’t know it couldn’t be done.’ In that spirit, this once-implausible milestone for TAPS was made reality by the proud pipeline people at Alyeska Pipeline and our contractors who operate TAPS safely and reliably,” said John Kurz, Alyeska’s President & CEO. “This moment also honors countless individuals and organizations that continue adding to the iconic infrastructure’s legacy, as well as Alaska’s residents and leaders and the state’s hardworking oil and gas industry.”
