Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. said July 3 that pipeline reliability for June was 99.92 percent. Year-to-date, 2001 reliability stands at 99.86 percent. Pipeline reliability is the amount of time the pipeline is operating and available to transport North Slope crude oil.

Alyeska said there was one proration during June which affected the reliability factor. On June 25 an incorrect test procedure activated automatic controls and resulted in an unscheduled pipeline shutdown, deferring 22,221 barrels.

June throughput was 28,853,000 barrels and the June daily average was 962,000 barrels per day.

Year-to-date throughput is 182,776,000 barrels and the year-to-date daily average is 1,010,000 barrels.
