President's Message
David Wight, President and CEO
Strategic Reconfiguration project
groundwork underway
In 1968, oil was discovered at Prudhoe Bay. That discovery
elevated Alaska’s role in supporting the nation’s economy and
led to the creation of Alyeska Pipeline Service Company to
design, build, maintain and operate the Trans Alaska Pipeline
System (TAPS).

Pipeline 101
Pipeline Safety
The 800-mile-long Trans Alaska Pipeline
System (TAPS) is unusual because some 420 miles of the
pipeline are built above ground to maintain permafrost and for
other technical reasons. Operators constantly monitor TAPS
with a variety of automated systems and human inspectors to
find potential problems. The pipeline corridor also has signs
notifying the public about the pipeline’s location and telling
how to report emergencies.
