Pipeline transportation utilizes pipelines to transport liquids and gases, including crude oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products, known for their efficiency and cost-effectiveness, particularly over long distances. Compared to other modes, pipelines generally have a lower environmental impact, emitting fewer greenhouse gases per unit of cargo and being less prone to accidents when properly maintained.

These pipeline networks can cover vast distances, connecting production areas with consumption centers, including cross-country pipelines and distribution pipelines in cities and industrial zones. Vital for the energy industry, pipelines play a crucial role in moving oil and gas from extraction sites to processing facilities and, ultimately, to end-users, ensuring a reliable energy supply.

However, pipeline projects often encounter challenges and controversies, especially when traversing ecologically sensitive areas or communities. Environmental concerns, safety, and the potential for leaks or spills are critical factors that require careful consideration.

Investing in modernization efforts, the pipeline industry incorporates advanced materials, monitoring technologies, and automation to enhance safety, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall efficiency. Strict adherence to regulatory standards is imperative, ensuring the safety of operations, covering aspects like construction, maintenance, and monitoring.

Pipeline transportation is a key element of the overall logistics and energy infrastructure, providing a reliable and efficient means of moving essential liquids and gases across vast distances.

Oil and natural gas are some of the most heavily traded goods in the world. However, as consumer markets are not always overlapping with producing regions, transportation, especially across continents and seas, plays a huge role in shaping the global oil and gas market. The two most common modes of moving crude oil, oil products, and natural gas are via tanker ships and pipelines. In 2023, the global capacity of oil tankers stood at over 650 million tons deadweight.
