      Don’t blow up the pipeline, that’ll pollute the environment! Go for the pumping infrastructure, if you can knock out a pump you can decrease or even completely stop the flow of oil.

        id guess pumps are more expensive to fix too. but also probably better guarded.

          “guarded” is usually a fence and some cameras, maybe a locked door. Honestly an easier target than any buried pipeline. Kind of surprising we don’t see more ELF action on this front, except for the whole ‘get sent to jail forever to make an example of you’ thing.
