The New TAPS
Flexible Design Allows for Easy Adjustments:
Adjusting to Changing Flow Forecasts

Realizing new efficiencies is one of the key benefits of the new pipeline reconfiguration project we refer to, simply, as “SR”—Strategic Reconfiguration. Simplified operations means oil throughput can be more easily adjusted to accommodate changing flow forecasts at the modularized, electrical stations. Currently, throughput is just under 900,000 barrels per day, though upgraded pump stations will be able to pump up to 1.14 million barrels daily. Volume increases can be accommodated by adding more pump units at the stations, using drag reducing agents to improve flow rates, and by bringing additional pump stations online.
