Pickling is using an acid solution to remove oxide (mill scale, welding & heat treatment scale, rust).
Usually done in either hot sulfuric or slightly heated hydrochloric acid solutions containing inhibitor. Easier than mechanical methods if both inside & outside of pipe must be cleaned.
Oiling is temporary protection from rusting.
