[QUOTE="okietool, post: 2869482, member: 6030"] [URL]http://aoghs.org/news/history-of-the-42-gallon-oil-barrel/[/URL] More than you ever wanted to know about oilfield barrels. I agree with the comment that people understand gallons. I also agree that 17,000 seems more horrific than 400 . Steel pipe has two enemies, corrosion and mechanical damage. Corrosion is unlikely from inside out on an oil pipeline IMO and it has a coating on the outside that's pretty resistant. It also eventually wears out. Some of the pipeline guys can probably tell more about how pipelines are inspected and maintained than I know. It will be interesting to see what the damage is and what happened. [/QUOTE]
