Do you have any mile-long "big metal pipes" lying around somewhere?

No, but I assume the Oil industry does.

And if they don't, I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to pay whatever crazy premium it would take to cut to the front of the line at every pipe fabricator shop to build them.

5 shops at 1200 feet of pipe a day will get it done in a day.

Once again, this is a completely half cocked idea, so I'm not being cocky about it.

the only big part would be on the ground, surrounding the well site.

it could feed into a normal sized pipe after 10 feet.

I think its a good idea. YOu would be able to surround it with the large section and collect it up the pipe, and at least get to burn it up.
