The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state

5in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins.

It is massive in size and extremely

10complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It

weaves through crooked canyons,

15climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes

over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet

20in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily.

Resting on H-shaped steel racks 25 called ‘bents’, long sections

of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or 30 rocky ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipeline’s up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarc-

35tic climate, the tortuous lay ofthe land, and the varied compositions ofsoil,rock,orpermafrost(perma-

nently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is

40elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil.

45One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately

$8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by 50 private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that

114 GRAMMAR TESTS

much money, so 8 major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each

55company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipelineconstruction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today,
