Oil spill is the North Slope's biggest ever

More than 200,000 gallons of crude leaked from a ruptured transit line
onto the tundra in Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, making the spill discovered
earlier this month the largest ever on the North Slope, according to
an official estimate released Friday.
The estimated spill size of 202,000 to 267,000 gallons far surpasses
the 38,000 gallons spilled in 2001, officials said. By comparison, the
Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons when it ran aground in Prince
William Sound in 1989.
"I can confirm it's the largest spill of crude oil on the North Slope
that we have record of," said Linda Giguere with the state Department
of Environmental Conservation. She did not immediately know when the
state began record-keeping on spills but said it was not in place when
the trans-Alaska oil pipeline was built in the 1970s.
Meanwhile, officials on Friday reported another leak on the North
Slope, this time in a 24-inch diameter pipeline carrying crude and
water from wells to a processing plant operated by Conoco Phillips.
The spill in the Kuparuk field was discovered by a Conoco Phillips
operator Thursday afternoon. Neither the cause nor volume of crude
spilled in this leak was immediately known, but it was not expected to
be as large as the BP spill, said DEC spokesman John Dixon.
"I'd be surprised if it even exceeds 500 gallons," he said.
The estimate on the largest spill was based on a survey conducted this
week at the site operated by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. where the
leak was discovered March 2. Workers took measurements by probing the
snow covering much of the crude that leaked from the 34-inch line.
The source of the spill was a quarter-inch hole apparently caused by
internal corrosion in the three-mile line that leads to the
trans-Alaska oil pipeline.
To date, workers have recovered 52,920 gallons -- or 1,260 barrels --
of crude. The effort has been slowed in recent days by wind-chilled
temperatures that dipped to more than 70 degrees below zero.
The plant, 650 miles north of Anchorage, usually processes 100,000
barrels of oil daily -- slightly less than 10 percent of the daily
flow through the 800-mile trans-Alaska pipeline. For now, a six-inch
pipeline is being used for production of 5,000 barrels daily.
Production is not expected to resume for at least two weeks, BP
spokesman Daren Beaudo said earlier this week.

Great. Another excuse for jacking up gas prices.
