French term

soutirage

French to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci
This appears in some terms and conditions for a petroleum product pipeline network. Does it refer to extraction costs, or does it have a different meaning here?

Many thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Dear Alison That's what I thought. The question is, whether the customer is a consumer, i.e. a manufacturing shop or a distributor, and whether you can detail the "soutirage"? Where does it happen? For what purpose? From which part, station, container, tank, etc.? Any further detail can be helpful to target the correct term in English.
Alison Wedley (asker) Nov 11, 2018:
Hello Johannes. It is a very lengthy 'Terms & Conditions' document between the pipeline operator and the customer.
Johannes Gleim Nov 11, 2018:
@ Alison Can you please narrow the subject of the text? Is this a contract between the pipeline operator and another network operator or any client, who has storage tanks? Or between supplier and network operator?
B D Finch Nov 10, 2018:
@Chris Collister It does seem that a 38th question for the same term is somewhat "de trop" !

It's probably 'consumer grid' (or consumer power supply) if it's EDF. They use 'soutirage' to distinguish user customers (consumers) from private/individual generator customers. 'Soutirage' is 'tapping/drawing off', extraction, etc, generally.

Moreover, the position of the draw-off point in the upper layer of the reservoir, together with the reservoir depth, enhances vertical stability.
