RE:Oh Cra ppp.For what it's worth... plumbing 101... you can't take a section of pipe and decrease it's size and then inrease it. It will only increase pressure and decrease flow. (Fewer boe going through). The 36 in section will only carry what goes through the 30 in section. The regulator is right. Make them dig harder. This is not allowed in plumbing. If you do this, the entire pipeline would be considered 30 in. We don't want that.... and there's alot more I won't get into.
