BP faces long Prudhoe Bay pipeline shutdowns and oil loss
BP disclosed severe corrosion at Prudhoe Bay requiring replacement of 16 miles of transit pipeline, potentially shutting a major U.S. crude source for weeks or months. The move would cut about 400,000 barrels per day, roughly 8 percent of domestic production, raising oil and gasoline prices. BP Alaska said 16 anomalies showed wall loss up to 81 percent, with repair or replacement needed.
