I think trucks are definitely the least economical option, but I’m torn between rail and pipeline for the best choice.

I remember studying that water transport is often cost-effective for large volumes, but pipelines might have lower operational costs overall.

I think pipelines are usually the most economical for transporting crude oil, but I'm not entirely sure if water transport could be cheaper in some cases.
