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.

Why is not crude oil refined in Alaska?

Crude oil is not typically refined in Alaska primarily due to the state's remote location and harsh climate, which pose logistical challenges for transportation and infrastructure. Most Alaskan crude is transported to refineries on the U.S. mainland, where processing facilities are more accessible and cost-effective. Additionally, the refining capacity in Alaska is limited, and most operations are concentrated in more developed regions with established facilities.
