Assesment of Energy Saving for Oil Pipelines (AESOP).
A research project supported by the European Commission under the Fifth
Framework Programme and contributing to the implementation of the
Key
Action A6 Economic and efficient energy for a competitive Europe within
the Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development contract nš ENK6-CT-2000-00096.
The main objective of the project is to reduce the energy consumption and to
increase the transport capabilities of oil pipeline networks by developing
