What is pressure cycling?


We operate our liquid pipelines in a way that protects the quality we build into them at the start.

Pressure cycling refers to the fluctuations that occur during the course of operations—as we start and stop pumps, and move crude oil products with varying densities and viscosities.

We minimize pressure cycling on our crude oil pipelines to reduce the stresses that can lead to wear on our pipeline systems.
