Lawence, I believe you are correct, after all it does get chilly enough to affect oil flow in winter months. This topic of above/below ground pipeline is a side track of a basic question which was presented, "can the pipeline be completed on schedule?". The company says yes, while some may have doubts, so we shareholders will chew on this bone for a while. In order to meet the completion date it was quoted that 2 miles of pipeline had to be laid each day, sound impossible? No way. As a Fitter/Welder I have some knowledge of how some very complex projects come together on a timely schedule. First of all, IMO, each pumping station will become an immediate construction project rather than waiting for the pipeline to meet it. Second, IMO, there will be at least eight pipeline construction crews laying pipe to meet each other. This now gives us an average of a quarter of a mile of pipeline laid per day for each crew. However, this is only IMO (in my opinion), and to answer the question "will the pipeline be built on schedule" , IMO no problem. Ed |
