Fear articles like this in ADN are paid for by politicians with agendas! I have worked in the Alaska oil and gas industry 25 years, from the Cook Inlet to the North Slope. These comments about the under water section of pipe is without knowledge of the Inlet history. These pipelines are 50 years old and were not designed to operate this long and some were not set up for regular pigging and inspection. With regular pigging maintenance and Smart Pigging inspections and new leak detection system I see no danger for the under water pipe section. Nikiski already has infrastructure in place and a large pool of resources to pull from.
