Alyeska to reduce staff

Petroleum News Alaska Staff

Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. announced plans March 3 to reduce its staff by about 150 positions at the company’s Anchorage, Fairbanks and Valdez offices, reducing the total Alyeska headcount to about 900 employees.

In addition to employees, Alyeska said it will reduce contractor support by about 150 positions over the coming months.

Alyeska President and CEO David Wight said eliminating duplication between the three offices and centralizing functions improves the company’s overall operations as well as helping to control costs.

“Streamlining the organization is part of redesigning Alyeska, to manage current North Slope throughput levels,” Wight said.

Of the 150 positions being eliminated from the company, about 50 are from Valdez, 60 from Fairbanks and 40 from Anchorage.
