Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. spokeswoman Linda Sather told KXFX-TV that the company will test systems and conduct work on valves.

The shutdown is to begin early in the morning.

Sather said crews will test the computer system that controls the pipeline, perform fire system testing and conduct valve work during the second short shutdown of the summer.

The event is not expected to affect production rates.

A 36-hour shutdown is scheduled for July.
