The trans-Alaska pipeline had been shut down 65 hours to allow workers to seal off and sever a section of sagging pipe. The pipeline is owned and operated by Alyeska Pipeline Service. The line, which has a normal daily flow of 1.7 million barrels, was shut for repairs near the point where the 48-inch pipe crosses under the Dietrich River, about 200 miles south of Prudhoe Bay.
