Will the behavior be the same in that kind of extremely high pressure large scale environment, where there are hundreds of barrels of oil being pumped every minute?

The short answer Alk, is YES. I think that's one of the key reasons that Kinder Morgan started testing on a condensate line. They have a ton of that stuff and they are trying to move it as quickly as possible.

Anyway, if the stuff in that paper applies to large scale deployments, then this technology is more of a game changer than I thought. The significance would be quite breathtaking actually.

Damn straight Alk- a game changer!

I thought I read those claims before. Likely s quality stock operative doing a cut and past job on previous news coverage from Tao's work.

Data indicates AOT suppresses turbulence on Keystone pipeline
From the summary of Professor Tao’s paper posted by Moorea9
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j0qj5i3lb5hqy6y/AAAiWH58qZc0l2qKEDQ8IVxRa?dl=0
the following can be deduced.

Under turbulent flow, the power savings are not more than 1:2 of the viscosity reduction. The keystone pipeline is definitely turbulent flow.

Because of this, if the Keystone pipeline was still turbulent with AOT on, the cap on power savings would be 50%, approximately.

However, the Keystone power reduction was 75%.

Power savings of over 50% are possible but ONLY under laminar flow.

This implies clearly that AOT is suppressing turbulence and creating laminar flow on the Keystone pipeline because it’s the only way you can achieve savings beyond 50%.

Naturally we await further detail supporting this when Professor Tao presents today.

Regarding you timing question, scientific papers take considerable time to be published from the date they are submitted. The summary above links to the abstract of the paper which shows it was submitted in April 2013, revised August 2014 and published January 2015.

The basic point that it shows, that the AOT works to suppress turbulence perpendicular to flow, seems to me simply amazing and incredible. It would add a whole other aspect to the revolutionary nature of this technology and make the AOT that much more significant.

However, my question or remark is simply this: the discussion in that paper is entirely in reference to the tests on RMOTC and at Daqing in China. I don't believe either of those was at the scale of the 36'' Keystone that TCPL recently finished testing.

I am quite sure Tao verified his theory worked on Keystone, but could not detail it due to the NDA. This is why the figures are from Daqing and RMOTC.
Tao and team have physically been to the keystone site.
Let us not forget also that between Daqing and now, they have "photographed" the molecules chains and understood the physics.
Maybe also he wanted to go back as far as possible in time to set precedence for a scientific discovery.
It seems now reasonably logical that a long chain of molecule travels more easily in the direction of the pipe and less easily across the section. The increase of viscosity and decrease of turbulence are thus the mirror images of the same phenomenon (chains).
