Again, not a valid statement. Pipelines are not 'permitted'. Economics
dictate (supply and demand) flow volume in either gas or oil pipelines.

 
GRM: I believe that the pipeline did run at full capacity in the '70s.

This is a foolish statement that would be ridiculed by any group energy
professionals. Reservoir pressure maintenance is not a mysterious
concept. And a bcf of gas isn't a great deal.
 
GRM: On of my smallest discoveries produced 6 bcf/day and I can assure
everyone it isn't a Prudhoe Bay.
