SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S
PIPE LINE A SUCCESS
Is Made of Rifled Tubing and
Overcomes Friction by Use
of Water

The s5.0Oo.o 900 oil pipe line con-
Meeting Port Costa with Oil City.
Kern county. built for the Southern
Pacific company, was successfully oper-
ated Tuesday, when at Z o'clock in the
morning oil reached one of the $4,000
barrel receiving tanks at Port Costa.
Work upon the line was begun a year
ago by the George E. Dow pump COM
the line with the tank was accom-
plished late Sunday night.
Besides the terminus pump at Port
Costa IL auxiliary stations were oper-
ated along the line Engineers who
watched the work declare every part
of the system worked in harmony. The
line is 2s2 miles in length and paral-
lels the Southern Pacific company's
right of way from Bakersfield The sta
tions at which pumps. were working
Fowler, Floyd, MENDOZA, Dos Palos,
Lfnora Emerald, Tracy and Neroly.
Each pumping station contains three
$50 horsepower boilers, two duplex oil
pumps and two water pumps. There
tanks and water tank. The line was
designed for a capacity of 1900 bar
rels during "a hours. 1t is estimated
that the capacity will exceed that of
eight to ten times.
The success of the line is looked
upon as a modern engineering feat,
since the pipe used on the line is
eight inch rifle bore. About 10 per cent
water is introduced in the line with
90 per cent of oil. The rifing of the
pipe causes the fluids to rotate. the
water doing away with the friction of

ployed in the work OF installation.
