And he pointed to IEA, saying it should be obvious. They have over-capacity. But how is over-capacity measured? Well it seems that over-capacity is measured by falling oil prices. So the Saudi's are under-producing because oil prices have fallen. Around and around. Call me confused.

I know there is a thing called a "hog" that is like a moving plug. they use one when they change types of fluid, another kind somehow inspects the pipe thickness to find corrosion. Maybe they have one that can push fluid along to empty the pipe?

ROCKMAN wrote:T - The fastest pipe pig on the planet moves much slower then the oil moving thru the line now. But the common way to empty oil out of any flow line is to push it out with another fluid...even water. Small diameter and shorter lines are flushed with N2. Including NG lines: against regs to leave it when abandoning a line. Same for oil. In this case there would be very little mixing of the oil/water. And what there is wouldn't be a problem: we've had oil/water separators for more than half a century. The bigger problem would be getting the residual water out to prevent corrosion.
