Features and Benefits of Pipeline Transportation

Image
Oil and gas pipelines are vital infrastructure elements that play a crucial role in the distribution of important resources like crude oil, petroleum and natural gas. Countries depend on pipelines for their energy needs and industrial applications. Made of steel or polyethylene and installed with link seals and end seals for the perfect vacuum, these pipes safely transport large quantities of petroleum and crude oil derivatives for residential, commercial and industrial use across large distances.  It’s safe to say that pipelines are the desired way to transport such large quantities of resources. When we compare this mode of transportation to others such as by air, sea or railways, our previous point becomes abundantly clear.  Comparing Pipelines to Regular Types of Transportation Oil and gas pipelines can seamlessly transport huge quantities of resources directly from the wells to the end-user at a much lower cost than other means of transport.  The payload is usuall...

Pipeline Repair: Considerations for Determining the Most Appropriate Method

Image
Pipelines are an essential medium to transport oil and gas all over the country. Pipeline installation in India has led to successful transportation of these crucial yet flammable commodities through a vast network of on- and offshore pipelines. Regular inspections and maintenance ensure that any damage due to corrosion or leaks can be repaired in time. Pipelines are used to distribute petroleum products and natural gas liquids and thus their safety is a critical factor to be considered during pipeline installation . To ensure the integrity of the pipelines, regular maintenance and repairs must be performed to ensure optimum performance and avoid system failures.  Regular inspections are required for two reasons: Any defect during the oil or gas pipeline installation that goes undetected can cause deterioration or cause a leak that can be dangerous.  Most of the pipelines run underground. They cross over barriers as well. Though link and end seal s ensure that no outside parti...

Preparing for pipeline installation – what safety steps need to be taken

Image
Gas pipeline construction companies in India install pipelines to transport oil and gas to different parts of the country. These pipelines carry oil, natural gas, and other liquid fuels. These pipelines are essential for oil and gas transportation. Pipeline installation is one of the most challenging tasks for companies managing the oil and gas pipelines in India . These pipelines transport flammable materials, so there is a lot of concern about their safety. Here are the safety steps that need to be taken while preparing for pipeline installation. Safety as a priority - Analyze the tasks to be performed by the team and do a job safety analysis before the team starts working on-site. Installing oil and gas pipelines in India involves a lot of potential hazards therefore a plan should be in place to remove or reduce the chances of injury. Leaders of the oil and gas pipe line installation services must highlight the importance of placing safety at the core of everything they do. Training...

Types Of Pipeline Every Oil and Gas Engineer Should Know About

Image
There has been a dramatic improvement in pipeline installation . This includes improvements in pipeline types as well. The pipelines are an important part of our infrastructure and each type serves a different purpose.  Based on their function, making, and material they transport, we have compiled a list of the different types of pipelines used in different oil and gas pipelines in India . Based on the function of the pipeline: Collection/Gathering - After being extracted, most of the natural resources are being processed. These resources are pulled from their source and transported to the plant or storage tank for further processing by the pipeline installation companies . These pipelines are smaller in length because the time between the two points should be minimal.  Transmission/Transport - Oil and gas pipelines in India transport natural resources over long-distance across cities or transportation pipelines are used. They are large and operate under very high pressures. ...

What is the difference between metallic and nonmetallic pipes and their benefits?

Image
Both, gas as well as an oil pipeline in India , are transported through pipelines. They are the main component of the entire infrastructure.  In earlier days, when oil was the only fuel, whiskey barrels were used to store oil. Then horses were used to transport these barrels from wells to railway stations. Then later people started using wood and metal pipelines. As the technology evolved, pipeline installation started happening with cast iron pipelines. The same was later replaced by steel.  In the present scenario, the pipeline can be made from a metallic substance or a non-metallic substance.  Non-Metallic can be classified as composite, rubber, glass, and concrete.  Composite:  Neither oil nor gas pipeline in India are constructed using composite pipelines. These are mainly used for water supply or as drainage pipelines.  The non-metallic composite pipelines though are anti-corrosive but even adding link seal s at the ends the bearing pressure is limi...

What are the 3 types of pipelines? What are the 5 stages of the pipeline?

Image
Installing pipelines, whether it is a gas pipeline in India or an oil pipeline, is a difficult job. Pipelines go through a number of stages during their construction and installation. Before we go ahead and discuss these stages let’s discuss what are the types of pipelines. What are the 3 types of pipelines?  Gathering - Most natural resources are not immediately ready for use after being extracted. Before they can be used by the consumer, they need to be processed. Pipeline installation companies use gathering pipelines to deliver oil or gas from its source to the plant or storage tank for further processing. As they carry gas or oil that needs to reach the initial treatment facility as soon as possible, these pipelines are relatively short in length. Since extraction of resources and initial processing should be done as quickly as possible, it makes sense to minimize the amount of time between the two. Transportation - Although all pipelines are used to transport natural reso...
