    There's a couple pipelines going in around here. A couple major projects are going to be coming on line in the next year so they're getting them connected to the refineries.

    I'll ask some ?s when I unload in Casper tomorrow but I'm pretty sure Oklahomans don't head north in November unless there's something going on .
    The broker who handled my load is someone my company did alot of business with when things were going good in the oil field , he didn't give any details but he sounded very optimistic when I talked to him last Weds.
     
    JRTBud877 and Chewy352 Thank this.

    This is the time of year pipe yards are getting crap out of their yard to help with year end inventory. We used to always be super busy in December.

    There has been some rig movement from the east back to yards in Ok and Tx. Maybe people are getting ready to drill some more
