The Feasibility Analysis on the Batch Transportation of Product Oil and Crude Oil in Xinjiang—Baoji Pipeline

The paper discusses the feasibility of the batch transportation of product oil and crude oil in Xinjiang-Baoji pipeline. Based on the operating ways of the French product oil and crude oil batch transportation pipeline, the preliminary tentative plan has been put forward. Through analyzing the oil characteristics of Xinjiang, and in the preconditions of the total throughput rate of 1 100×10⁴ t/a and the ratio of product oil to crude oil at 8:3, the authors calculate the pipe diameters and safe throughput for the initial feasibility plan of the pipeline project. Some problems about the batch transportation of product oil and crude oil of the pipeline have been studied and discussed from the standpoint of transportation technology.
