A few sample questions
1. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) carries oil from Prudhoe Bay to which port city?
Answer: Valdez
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline carries crude oil 800 miles from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic coast to the ice-free port of Valdez on Prince William Sound, where it is loaded onto tankers for shipment.
2. Why is approximately half of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline built above ground on supports?
Answer: To prevent the hot oil from melting the permafrost beneath
About 420 of the pipeline's 800 miles are elevated on supports to prevent the warm oil (flowing at about 140 degrees F) from melting the permafrost beneath, which would destabilize both the pipeline and the ground.
3. The Keystone Pipeline System transports crude oil from which Canadian province to refineries in the United States?
Answer: Alberta
The Keystone Pipeline System transports crude oil from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, to refineries in the United States, including facilities in Illinois, Oklahoma, and the Gulf Coast of Texas.
