If you are in the oil and gas industry, you are well aware of the main two types of pipelines used in our industry; however, many consumers are unaware of the differences between the main types as well as the sub-types of oil and gas pipelines.<\/span><\/p>

While there are numerous sub-types of pipelines used to transport oil and gas across a number of applications, the two main types of pipeline are\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  1. Gas pipelines<\/span><\/li>
  2. Oil pipelines<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    In this article, we will discuss the differences between these two distinct types of pipelines.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Natural gas is transported via gas-specific pipelines and then stored in stationary facilities meant for export or import. These pipelines deliver natural gas to locations such as storage facilities, or even your own home!<\/span><\/p>

    Gas pipelines come in a number of sub-types. These include:<\/span><\/p>

    • Gathering systems<\/span><\/li>
    • Transmission systems<\/span><\/li>
    • Distribution systems<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      Each of these systems might employ pipes of different lengths and widths to accomplish their specific application.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Oil, or petroleum, pipelines are used to transport crude oil and other gas liquids. Within this category of pipelines, there are three more sub-types generally used. The three sub-types are as follows:<\/span><\/p>

      1. Gathering systems<\/span><\/li>
      2. Crude oil pipeline systems<\/span><\/li>
      3. Refined products pipelines systems<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

        The gathering systems include pipes that transport crude oil from production wells, while crude oil pipeline systems transport crude oil to a refinery. After the crude oil is refined, the refined products pipelines systems transport the refined products to storage or distribution centers. Each of these three types of oil pipes are an essential step in the process of refining and producing oil products \u2014 and then delivering them for your use.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
