Oil Information Chairman Tells of Pipeline Delivery For less than it costs to mail a< post card, oil men can transport a ; I gallon of oil from East Texas to North Carolina. That's part of the | story of oil in North Carolina re leased for Oil Progress Week by K. ' H. McCullough, state oil informa tion committee chairman. "Many North Carolinians are fa miliar with the fact that a great deal of petroleum products arrive in this state via pipeline, to men tion but one petroleum carrier. Few, however, are acquainted with I the workings of such a system," he said. Mr. McCullough is division sales manager for Pure Oil, Charlotte, in addition to his volunteer job as OIC chairman. i "Let's consider how oil men do this so cheaply. "Oil travels through the pipe lines at about the speed of a man's : walk. It goes over mountains, un der rivers. To keep it going, pump ing stations are set up along the line. j "An operational control man reg ulates the pumps and keeps watch on these underground rivers of oil. When a shipment of refined pe troleum reaches its delivery point, an operator turns valves to divert the product from the pipeline into storage." With oil flowing constantly, how does the operator know when a par ticular shipment has reached him? One sure way involves checking the specific gravity of the oil prod uct; another is by the color of the product and the time it arrives. "Products arriving in North Caro lina maintain their identity from the refinery to the service station pump, and ultimate consumer," Mr. McCullough said. "Strange as it may seem, most people buy and use the two princi pal petroleum products without ever seeing them." In fact, he con tinued, it is conceivable that crude oil can be pumped from the depths of the earth, perhaps 10,000 or 15, 000 feet down, pipe lined to a re finery, processed into gasoline or fuel oil, moved to a market place, then to a consumer's car or home, and actually be consumed without ever having been seen or touched by human beings. "Such is the progress of the pe troleum industry while seeking to give the best possible products for the lowest possible prices," the oil spokesman said. North ? Carolina also has a great deal of finished oil products de livered via ocean going tankers and barges to marine terminals. Some comes to the state via railroad tank cars and still other via over-the road truck. Distribution of petroleum prod ucts is one of the most extensive, and one of the most interesting sys tems ever devised for marketing of liquid products. North Carolina has 216 miles of products pipe line within the state. East Drive-In Thtth* Beaufort, N. C Opaaa ?:M. Mart* 7:* Tneaday - Wednesday "A Foe* In THo Crowd" ?
