The Cook Inlet Pipeline provides crude oil transportation services to producers in
and around Alaska's prominent Cook Inlet. Crude is gathered from fields on the
west side of the Cook Inlet and carried through the pipeline to the nearby Drift
River Marine Terminal. The pipeline was designed with a flow rate of 225,000 BOPD,
traveling through 42 miles of 20 inch pipe.
The Drift River Marine Terminal, which has crude oil storage capacity in excess
of 1 million barrels, receives crude from the pipeline into storage for subsequent
delivery to tankers berthed at the Christy Lee Platform. Most of the crude is
delivered into the local refinery market.
The Cook Inlet pipeline and terminal assets are owned by Cook Inlet Pipeline
Company, a Delaware corporation; current owners are Union Oil Company of California, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (50%), Pacific Energy Resources (50%). Cook Inlet Pipeline
Company is authorized per the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to operate the
assets under its filed tariff conditions. Chevron Pipe Line Company operates
the facilities.
