Adding on to what Qazplm601 said, there are serval things you could do to remedy this. One you could add a Chunkloader or World Anchor to allow the area the lava is traveling to stay generated. Or you could also get a Ender tank which is similar to a tesseract except much cheaper to craft and much easier to use (functions similar to an ender chest except transports fluids). Hope this helped.
On a side note, forget waterproof pipes, go with fluiducts.

You would place the chunk loader inside the chunks of the area in which you need to keep loaded in able for the lava to reach its destination. The great thing about the chunk loader is you can increase/decrease its size by clicking on it, and can make it big enough to load your lava system. Hope this helps, if more help is needed feel free to reply.
Hi,
you already got solved your problem but I¨m not sure if you understood why you ahve to place the chuckloader.
You may not know about a basic mechanic wich will drive you crazy if you don´t know.
In Minecraft only a certain area around you(don´t know how big this area is) is being loaded/active.
So if you have a Base at Point A and go to the next Oil field(Point B) far away from your Base your Base won´t be loaded and all machines you have there getting inaktive.
They won´t disapear. Once you go to a area and its loaded the first time the Data is stored. But this does not mean that it will be active all the time you are not around there.
So the chunckloader does this for you. Place it in the Area you want to have active 24/7 and you are fine.
So once you have anykind of machine automated. lets say a little Wead farm at your base to get some food, you always want to have your Base "chunckloaded" so if you leave your base the wead keeps growing.
Or in your case chunckload the Oil field to don´t make the Pump inactive once you leave.

yes
300 blocks is way too far, just use TE3 tesseracts to move the oil to minimize the chunks you'd need to be loaded. i'm pretty sure it's an unloaded chunk you're running into, oil hits it, and it's like slamming into a wall.
when i was new to BC back in 1.2.5 i thought pipes were cool too, so don't feel bad. and they are cool...just not for huge distances.
