A method for increasing carrying capacity of a pipeline by constructing a series of pipe sections parallel to the main pipeline for a portion of the distance between compressor or pump stations and connecting them to the main pipeline at the beginning and end of each segment. 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.
