What else can I help you with?
How do you harness crude oil?
You pipe it up from under the ground and pump it into tankers, usually, or sometimes pipelines, to take it to the refinery.
Are oil pipelines above or below ground?
both
How oil is pumped through pipelines?
by using air pressure
Why are there U shaped bends in oil pipelines?
They are called expansion loops. They absorb displacements due to thermal expansions in the pipelines subject to wide temperature ranges.
Why are crude oil refineries situated on the coast?
Locating a refinery on the coast allows for easy access for oil tankers to bring oil to refineries. Inland refineries are forced to ship oil via pipelines. While pipelines are a more efficient method of shipping crude oil, a landlocked refinery cannot take advantage of spot cargos of discounted oil.
What can be easily moved across land in pipelines but must be transported in special refrigerated ships to move across the ocean?
light oil
What other options exist for transporting oil across the ocean?
Get a unicorn to carry all the dang oil across. Then get a magical cow to carry the unicorn. BUY A DRAGON! RAWR! The oil will magically be across! Thanks Kiana! Or you can get pipelines, ocean tankers, and distribution terminals.
Where is crude oil?
under the ocean
Who benefits from oil pipelines?
people
How do you harness crude oil?

How do you gather oil?
oil is gathered under sedamint in the ocean
Who pays for oil pipelines?
Oil pipelines (large ones) can be owned and/or operated by:the oil company producing the oil for its own oila company formed to build and operate the pipeline and then rents the service to the oil producersa government which either operates the pipeline and then rents the service to the oil producers or hires a third party to operate the system
How is oil transported to the US?
Oil is primarily transported to the U.S. through a combination of pipelines, tankers, and rail. Crude oil is shipped via large ocean-going tankers from oil-producing countries to U.S. ports, where it is then transferred to pipelines for inland distribution. Additionally, rail transport is used for delivering oil from regions that may not have pipeline access. Once it reaches refineries, the crude oil is processed into various petroleum products for consumption.
How is oil transported?
Pipelines, Oil tankers (Ships), Oil Drums, Road Tankers.
Where do you get crude oil from and how do you extract it?
In the ground or under the ocean, by using oil pumps.
Where do you find oil?
You normally find oil in the ground or under the ocean floor.
Where is the best location for oil?
Oil is located in many places. Under the ground, under the ocean, in shale, etc.
