Weekly fly overs with FLIR detection is required in Alaska
There has been a lot of R&D for rebuilding old city sewer systems without replacing them. They have saved us taxpayers a lot of money but Petro lines are a different breed of cat . The pipe under the river should be as simple as running an outer pipe so you can remove and replace inner pipe if needed. I still don't buy into the double pipe will fail theory, They make centralizers to keep inner pipe from ever touching outer pipe, I've ran hundreds if not thousands of them. Has anyone ever saw a piece of real AK pipeline material ? I had friends working on it and one brought back a "Trophey" cut in the shape AK , I'd dare say the AK pipeline would last longer than our need for oil ill be if it was buried under the river without cathodic protection.
Huff Ranger said it best..... So again the ignorance and neglect of a few affect the many.
Pipelines are the safest way to move hydrocarbons to market. Period.....[/QUOTE I agree. two pipes. Inner a thick wall poly probably 2" thick or more. Then a steal outer. You can pull a new poly every ten years or so. won't have corrosion issues.

they fly pipelines here all the time.That sounds like it would be a fun job. Do they use bush pilots or drones ?

not sure what you mean conflict of interest. but I can tell you I go out of my way to insure every barrel that leaves gets to the disposal. we have meter issues a lot and you have to force the midstream companies to verify what the deal is. I also make sure I know where every pipeline is on my route so I can watch for issues. I pump right along the lake and it would be in the lake in no time flat. Thankfully my wells are all within three miles of the disposal so it's easy to keep an eye on it. And they're all within three years old or so.Wow eye you basically given us every reason to be scared of these pipe under our feets. It must be such a conflict of interest for you to see such a lack of respect to north Dakota values.

do you never wake up, re-read the stupid shit you say while drunk/high and say "self. i have to get sober someday"I wonder if states could hire natives and hippies to poop at each joint to help monitor soil temperature and assist with thermal imaging? They could defecate for money. provide nutrients for the Earth and provide waypoints. Much entertaining fodder for many threads!...Pooping! It's a win/win.
Not me I would like safe pipelines and cheap gas to, I have never had to deal with any sort of spill and hope I never do.
i wonder... we could refine bakken crude... in the bakken... instead of transporting millions of barrels of it south and east... and then transporting 100's of millions of gallons of gas and diesel back up he...
never mind... that would be dumb...
STOP IT. We like svn's musings.do you never wake up, re-read the stupid shit you say while drunk/high and say "self. i have to get sober someday"
they already defecate for moneyI wonder if states could hire natives and hippies to poop at each joint to help monitor soil temperature and assist with thermal imaging?

that's why a new gasoline refinery is going in down around belfieldi wonder... we could refine bakken crude... in the bakken... instead of transporting millions of barrels of it south and east... and then transporting 100's of millions of gallons of gas and diesel back up he...
never mind... that would be dumb...
With Trump in office, maybe we can actually start building things like refineries, nuclear power plants and the like again.
Just because you don't understand his nuanced language doesn't mean it's "stupid". Svn is well liked in these parts. Don't be a dinkdo you never wake up, re-read the stupid shit you say while drunk/high and say "self. i have to get sober someday"
