This reduces pressure drop in the portions of the pipeline that are "looped" (i.e., with parallel sections), allowing an increased pressure drop in the unlooped sections and, thus, an increased flow rate. Over time, a series of partial loops may be constructed resulting in a complete, second, parallel pipeline. At which time the pipeline will be totally looped.
