Alyeska Pipeline Fined for Pipeline Heating System Leak

Alyeska Pipeline faces a proposed $244,000 fine from PHMSA for a November 2021 leak in a pipeline heating system near Fairbanks, Alaska. The leak occurred due to a frozen pressure relief valve, which had provided overpressure protection thirteen times before but was not identified as an issue until the investigation into the leak. The company has until December 17th to respond to the proposed penalty and is working with PHMSA to ensure compliance. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
