When you hear that oil companies put pig in pipelines, please don't think they are doing something very cruel to animals. As described in the link, the pig is put in the oil pipeline to clean it. Some oils contain wax and if the line is not cleaned it will become blocked. New "smart pig" contain sensors to check on pipeline corrosion. See link.

How is crude oil brought to earths surface?

What is the definition of pipe-to-soil potential?
Pipe-to-soil potential is the voltage difference between a buried pipeline or structure and the surrounding soil. It is measured as a way to monitor the level of protection provided by a cathodic protection system, which is designed to prevent corrosion on the pipeline. A more negative (cathodic) potential indicates better protection against corrosion.

What is the relationship between the Northern Border Pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how do they impact the transportation of oil in the region?
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.
