It is a high quality oil from a low price location.

That's a pitch-perfect way to put it, Thackney.

You are really invaluable on these threads.

Many thanks for taking time.

I was at Cushing Oklahoma Station 32 on the Trans Canada pipeline last week trying to address some cavitation issues with 38,000 GPM transfer pumps. Initial impressions are that the pumpage is much lower in SG than they were designed for - I was surprised when the customer told me they weren't pumping crude "at the moment" but a much lighter hydrocarbon from a tank farm a mile or so away. None of this makes any sense to us. The customer said they expected cavitation with "this" pumpage - "we start taking suction from Ponca City in a week or so - that's the higher SG crude". " as long as you can guarantee the noise us cavitation and not a mechanical issue - that's what we care about now".

good article
