That's the problem with the GOV. The specs, regulations and operational requirements,very few contractors will bid on the contract for operation and maintenance of the pipeline. Trust me on this one.....the SPR pipelines EXCEEDS anyones expectations or assumptions.I worked there for 9 years,without going in to details,the spider web of pipelines,whether owned,leased, or rented by day for transfers will blow your mind. Problem is SPR full draw down will last only 28 days or less.

Where do you get that? The SPR is holding about 700 million barrels and can only be withdrawn at 4.4 MMBPD.
