extraction to refining, crude oil is pumped through an intricate
system
of closely monitored storage tanks and distribution pipes that help

discusses how Texas-based Plains All American Pipeline uses technology
to control that process and adhere to strictly enforced federal
regulations for storage and transportation of crude oil.
