A new eight inch pipeline 282 miles long from Oil City in Coalinga country to Port Costa delivers thick oil with a water sheath created by rifled corrugations. The system uses internal water to separate oil from the pipe, reducing friction and enabling 17,000 to 20,000 barrels daily to feed Harriman interests and Pacific steamers.
