Alpine Utility
The Alpine Utility Pipeline is one of three pipelines, each approximately 34 miles long, that connect the Colville River Unit (CRU) to infrastructure in the Kuparuk River Unit (KRU). The Alpine Utility Pipeline transports treated seawater from the KRU Central Processing Facility (CPF)-2 to the CRU Alpine Central Facility for use in enhanced oil recovery.
