Here is a scary fact: I used to work in shipping and when we had a tanker in port they would discharge #6 fuel oil (a super heavy oil, thicker than the stuff coming out of the BOP on the seafloor) from a 16" pipe. Run with nominal pressure, maybe a 1/4 of the ground pressure they used to discharge bbls an hour. This is a 21" pipe gushing lighter oil at full ground pressure. Scary math for sure.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br /><br />Regards<br />The Tampa PirateThe Tampa PirateHttp://thetampapirate.comnoreply@blogger.com
