I just got off the phone with my daddy, and I thought I'd pass what he told me along, to anyone that might be interested.
Pipeline company lesson #1
Whats happening right now is that....the main staging area is in Baton Rouge and Pascagoola (sp?) MS...those staging areas require 6000 to 8000 hp motors to run the pipes. The pipes should not be damages as they lay 12 feet underground, BUT they run up hill from Baton Rouge to Bremen Ga (which is right at the alabama state line). They have no power, there are not many generators that can run a 6k-8k hp motor which is why they are only running a 35%. The line that runs from Bremen GA to Greensboro NC doesnt require power to pump the tanks because gravity does the work for them.
On a normal day they will pump around 800,000 barrells per day...each barrell is 42 gallons. Right now if they are running at 35% they are pumping 280,000 barrells which would be 11,760,000 gallons a day.
We arent running out of gas....its just taking time to get it here.
anyway, I thought that might be interesting to somebody
