[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 122645, member: 315"] sabotage is very likely. although this pipeline sounds rather remote so you would have had to know it was there I think. It's probably a pipeline from a LACT unit on a well site pumping it to a main pipeline artery then on to a sales tank battery. Those are really hard to detect leaks on because the flow and pressure is intermittent. Meaning they only have flow and pressure in the line when they are shipping oil from a well's tank battery. That can vary from a every other day to once or twice a day for an hour or two. all depends on the production on a given well site. And how many wells are on that site and how many LACT units there are. These are the most likely pipelines to leak. They are small and I don't think they have the regulations on them the major interstate pipelines do. It's the same for the salt water lines too. [/QUOTE]
