When the Trans Alaska Pipeline was constructed it was illegal to ship any of the oil from Alaska to other countries. Then during the Clinton Administration when oil was $8 a barrel, that law was changed. For 2 years Alyeska Pipeline Terminal shipped to Japan and South Korea a total of 5 times. They decided that this was not cost effective and now they no longer ship there. This was years ago. Now all the oil goes to refineries in Washington state, California and Hawaii. It provides most of the fuel in the Northwestern States. None of it leaves the country.
I have this information because I live in Valdez, Alaska. Where the end of the Trans Alaska Pipeline is located and the oil is shipped from. I receive my information from locals including family members who work at the Alyeska Pipeline Terminal (some of who are managers).

What percentage of the oil out of Alaska actually stays in the us you heard most of it goes to china and japan?
There is a world market in oil, the companies that produce and own it will sell to whoever pays most. Also I suppose it is a fairly short sea trip to those areas compared with from the Middle East or Africa.. I read today that the US imports more oil from Africa (Angola and Nigeria) than from Saudi, so patterns of trade do change over time.AnswerWhen the Trans Alaska Pipeline was constructed it was illegal to ship any of the oil from Alaska to other countries.
