Ability to perform under pressure is important as well as size.
Take for example a 24 inch diameter pipeline operating at 750 psi and 90 feet per second can transport about 1.02 million cubic feet per hour. But that is roughly 1.02 x (750/14.7) = 51.9 million standard cubic feet per hour. Cut the operating pressure in half and you have half the scfh capacity. (rules of thumb for operating pressures and velocities come from http://www.ehow.com/how_8603429_size-pre...lines.html)
Incidently, 51.9 mmscf/h is 9.24 mtpa per my calcs. What is the diameter again of XOM's pipeline?
As was observed, Blue needs to sink its free throws at the end of the game. Also, not take the air out of the ball so damn early.
