Description:	The All American Pipeline is a thousand-mile long, 30" diameter pipe built to carry crude oil from producing areas around Bakersfield to refineries in McCamey, Texas, near Odessa. The crude is heated at several heating stations, located every 100 miles or so along the pipeline, to maintain the crude at a temperature between 140 to 160 degrees, decreasing its viscosity so that it flows with less friction through the pipe. The All American Pipeline Company, a subsidiary of Goodyear, was acquired by the El Paso Natural Gas Company in 2000, and the pipeline may be converted to carry natural gas.
