Pipeline.
The Alaskan pipeline goes from the north area of Alaska to the southern area, where the oil is loaded into tankers and taken to West Coast ports. A vast system of domestic pipelines then transport the oil to refineries throughout the US.

The Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline, which is owned by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, was built to bring crude oil from the North Slope at Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, the most ice-free port in Alaska.
After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship, or barge. At a refinery, different parts of the crude oil are separated into usable petroleum products.
The Northern Border Pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline are separate pipelines that transport oil in the region. The Northern Border Pipeline primarily carries natural gas, while the Dakota Access Pipeline transports crude oil. These pipelines play a significant role in the transportation of oil in the region by providing a means to move oil from production areas to refineries and markets.

CARAGA stands for the Caño Limón - Coveñas oil pipeline located in Colombia. It is a major oil pipeline that transports crude oil from the Caño Limón oil field to the port of Coveñas for export.

After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship or barge. At a refinery, different parts of the crude oil are separated into useable petroleum products. Crude oil is measured in barrels (abbreviated "bbls"). A 42-U.S. gallon barrel of crude oil provides slightly more than 44 gallons of petroleum products. This gain from processing the crude oil is similar to what happens to popcorn, it gets bigger after it is popped.
they found oil and it spill gallons of oil some where
They use ASTs (above-ground storage tanks) as a temporary means of storing the crude that is shipped in by barges. This way, the barges only have to pump a short distance to the ASTs as opposed to pumping it all the way to an inland refinery. From the ASTs the crude will then be piped into a larger pipeline, which carries crude to the refineries, where again it is stored in ASTs while it awaits processing.
