(OP)
We are looking at options for tieing in a new (>40km)pipe section that will have been laid alongside the existing liquid line. Considering that we have to remove the fluid from the old pipe section as part of the operation are there any thoughts on how line plugging might be carried out for the tie-ins of the new section??

Its a 20" crude line. We know what equipment to use, we're trying to determine the best way to do it! i.e. how would you stage isolation of the old section and tie-in the new section along with removing the fluid from the old and filling the new! trying to do it with the minimum number of hot taps and plugs...
