BP bypass plan
The Regulatory Commission of Alaska has granted temporary permits for BP PLC to connect the east side of Prudhoe Bay field to the nearby Endicott pipeline, enabling the restart of 105,000b/d of oil production. About half of the normal 400,000b/d of oil production from Prudhoe Bay has been shut down since August because of corrosion problems in an oil transit line.
