Our People

Scott Iverslie
Measurement Specialist

Describe some of the work you do for Alyeska. My primary responsibility is to support Alyeska’s measurement technicians at the custody transfer metering stations located at PS01, North Pole Metering, Petro Star Valdez and the VMT.  Having an engineering background I help troubleshoot problems, create minor modification engineering packages, calibrate measurement devices and provide project support for measurement related activities.    

Tell us about the role of a measurement specialist? Since accurate crude oil measurement is a crucial part of Alyeska’s business, no oil can flow or change custody if it is not being measured.  The role of the measurement specialist is to ensure Alyeska’s metering systems are operated and maintained to exceed Alyeska and American Petroleum Institute (API) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards. 

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?  I love working with my hands building or fixing anything.  Although I enjoy spending time hunting or fishing I get more satisfaction out of construction work like remodeling and building a cabin.  My son is 10 years old and only young once; I spend as much personal time with him so we can share life experiences together.     

What is your favorite part of the pipeline and why?  I have always said that there is no more beautiful place on earth than Valdez on a nice day.  When I worked on the terminal in the ERB building I would take time every day just to look over the bay at the mountains above Valdez from the parking lot.  Since I started my career with Alyeska in Valdez, visiting the VMT is like going home.
