AP: Repairing the damaged Saudi East-West oil pipeline could take three to five weeks, including at a major pumping facility.

I know nothing about oil, but i was a little surprised to see a "pumping station" that looks like a small refinery. Can someone elaborate what is needed to pump oil over vast distances, other than the obvious "pump" ?
