Background
The Point Thomson Oil Export Pipeline connects the Point Thomson unit to the Badami unit and onward to the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline. The project is considered crucial to any future development activities at Area 1002 of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.[1]
Permits were in place in 2012, and construction began this year and was completed in 2013.[2] The pipeline went into operation in 2016.[2]
In August 2018, PTE Pipeline LLC proposed a rate of $20.84 per barrel for the 22-mile liquids pipeline, up from a rate of $12.09 per barrel that went into effect in April 2017. The shipping rate is based on actual and estimated throughput on the 70,000-bpd pipeline.[1]
