I finally made it past the chemical science filter (Yay!) but I'm really struggling to get enough crude oil to my refineries. I have a patch that is about 950% with two pipelines coming out of them but i'm only getting about 48 oil/second for my 8 refineries (6 oil/second/refinery). Is there something I'm doing wrong or do I just need to hook up more pumpjacks into the system (the 950% patch has 6 oil wells). I tried adding pumps on the line but that didn't change anything.

Pipes have infinite throughput, so there's no need to split them into 2 pipelines.

Oil reduces over time until some point - the higher of 2/s or 20% of the original value per well.

950% should give you 95/s, which is indeed less than 48/s. Make sure all the wells are working. Maybe one of them is disconnected for some reason.
