Pipeline to The Arctic

Oil at the North Slope. Oil at Alaska's North Slop at Prudhoe Bay -- a lot of it. Possibly the biggest discovery in history. Who knows? It is there alright. But how does one harvest and deliver a product so plentiful without transportation over the endless miles of tundra. And the nearest city, Fairbanks, some 300 miles to the south. The answer was found -- pipe! A giant 48-inch pipeline, a project of seven of the large oil companies known as Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. A pipeline from oil-rich Prudhoe Bay, 800 miles south to Valdez in Prince William Sound -- the northern most ice-free port in North America.

what a fantastic project and a fantastic video, thank you for making and showing this.....I wish I could have been involved

Japan has no natural resources; how were they (Japan) able to produce enough pipeline for the Alaskan pipeline?

[@terencechevalier5756]

Lol seriously. Japan's been the biggest steel maker in the world. Right from the start theyve made and supplied pipe and steel since like the 40s 50s.

Some people haven’t read the history of certain things hence they make absurd statements or assumptions. You look on most oilfield pipeline it’s made in Japan.
