- Big_Inch abstract "The Big Inch and its companion project, the Little Big Inch, collectively known as the Inch pipelines, are petroleum pipelines extending from Texas to New Jersey in the United States, constructed as emergency war measures between 1942 and 1944. Before World War II, petroleum products were transported from the oil fields of Texas to the north-eastern states by oil tanker. When the United States entered the war, this vital link was attacked by German U-boat submarines, threatening both the oil supplies to the north-east and its onward transshipment to Great Britain. The Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ickes, championed the pipeline project as a way of transporting petroleum by the more secure, interior route.The pipelines were government financed and owned, but were built and operated by the War Emergency Pipelines company, a non-profit corporation backed by a consortium of the largest American oil companies. It was the longest, biggest and heaviest project of its type then undertaken; the Big and Little Big Inch pipelines were 1,254 miles and 1,475 miles long (2,018 km and 2,374 km) respectively, with 35 pumping stations along their routes. The project required 16,000 people and 725,000 short tons (658,000 t) of materials. It was praised as an example of private-public sector cooperation and featured extensively in US government propaganda.After the end of the war there were extended arguments over how the pipelines should be used. In 1947, the Texas East Transmission Corporation purchased the pipelines for $143,127,000, the largest post-war disposal of war-surplus property. The corporation converted them to transport natural gas, transforming the energy market in the north-east. The Little Big Inch was returned to carry oil in 1957. The pipelines are owned by Spectra Energy Partners and Enterprise Products and remain in use.".
