I believe they said the pipeline was put in in 1968. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System was designed and constructed to move oil from the North Slope of Alaska to the northern most ice- free port- Valdez, Alaska. Construction began on March 27, 1975 and was completed on May 31, 1977.

Seems to be! Discovered in '68 and flowing in '77.
So it's only 30 years old.
