Pipelines are used extensively to transport liquids and gases such as water, mineral oil and natural gas. Even cooking gas or LPG is supplied through pipelines in many parts of the world. Pipelines can also be used to transport coal mixed with water.

Principal Pipelines of the World:

(1) In U.S.A. there is a dense network of pipelines for carrying petroleum from the regions of production to the regions of consumption. A famous pipeline of U.S.A. known as the 'Big Inch' carries mineral oil from the oil wells of the Gulf of Mexico to the north-eastern part.

(2)    Oil from Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia is also brought through pipelines to the Mediterranean coast. Among them the longest pipeline is known as “Tapline” which has diameter of 750 mm. This connects the wells of American Oil Company located near the Persian Gulf with the Sidan Refinery located at a distance of 1600 km.

(3)    The “COMECON” pipeline is 4,800 kms. long. It was built by the former U.S.S.R. to carry oil from the wells of Ural and the Volga regions to the East European countries.

(4)    Gas is also transported through pipelines in Italy, France and Netherlands.

(5)    In India oil from Kandla port transported to Mathura Refinery through a pipeline. Recently a pipeline between Hazira-Bijaipur-Jagdishpur (HBJ) has been constructed to transport natural gas. This pipeline covers a distance of 1700 kms. The gas transported through this pipeline will be used for producing fertilizers at Bijaipur, Sawai Madhopur, Jagdishpur, Shah-jahanpur, Anwala, and Babrala.
