Oil starts flowing from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez port
Oil from Prudhoe Bay will enter the Alyeska pipeline shortly after June 20 and begin a 30 day 1.1 mph journey to Valdez storage tanks with shipments to follow by late summer. The project, the largest privately financed venture in US history, aims to move up to two million barrels a day to the lower 48, reducing dependence on imports and highlighting advances in engineering, logistics, and environmental safeguards.
