Ok...This certainly looks like the smoking gun! Enbridge is stating that they are increasing flow rates by increasing horsepower. This is fairly vague. They are not saying how they are increasing horsepower. They are not saying they are installing bigger turbines and motors etc...

Lets look at AOT and what it does. From STWA in September 2012, there was an AOT product brief describing technically how it works. Towards the end of this physics paper it states the following:

"...the methods can be used to temporarily reduce the viscosity of crude oil while it is in transport, corresponding to a reduction in pump power needed to achieve the same flow rates, or alternatively increasing the flow rates while still operating the pumps at the same power level."

Pay attention here. If a pipeline operator can keep the pumps running at the same power level to achieve greater flow through the pipes, then they might be able to increase the power (if it has available power capacity remaining...I can't imagine pipe operators run their motors at full throttle) to increase the flow even further because the pressure has dropped and so now they can increase the pressure again by stepping on the gas. lol
Hence, we now have increased horsepower without new motors or new pipes.

What they are not saying in these press releases is interesting and important, and makes the AOT a more plausible explaination. I'll say it again...It seems relevant that these press releases don't mention bigger engines. If they were increasing horsepower with bigger engines wouldn't you say so. The vagueness appears intentional.
