Pumping Up TAPS: Challenged under 600,000 barrels
In addition to the problem of fewer barrels to bear the cost of running Trans Alaska Pipeline System, an investment disincentive to non-TAPS owners, there are the technical challenges of keeping the 800-mile pipeline up and running when throughput drops under 600,000 barrels.
The Alaska Department of Revenue predicted average daily northern Alaska production would be 605,000 barrels in 2011. It looks like it might be a little less, in part because of planned AND unplanned maintenance shutdowns.
