The entire terra of the US is pipelined.
There really is no “financially efficient” direction to send the C2-C4 products. [Everyone buys Saran Wrap-C2, and propane canisters-C3, BIC has butane-C4 lighters...]
C1 goes into the LDC system and we fire-up the stove everyday.
Iffin’ y’all want to buy it, we can pipeline it to you.
My whole O&G career was based on the following statement:
Pipe in the ground is money in your pocket.
And I, for one, am darn grateful to you and the rest in the O&G industy. Thanks for allowing me and mine to cook, eat, and cool, all due to the hole in the wall connected to a pipeline.
Thanks bro!
Apparently not enough, given the massive use of rail shippage of crude oil, and the current controversy over building various new pipelines.
Note...I'm from South Louisiana, and spent many years of my career working for one of the largest chemical companies in the world IN South Louisiana, so I have a passing familiarity with where various HC's come from, and where they go.
