Pipelines

Year 2012 - 2013
Pipelines play a very critical role in the transportation processbecause most of the oil moves through pipelines for at least part ofthe route.
Pipelines are important for landlocked crudes and complementtankers at certain key locations by relieving bottlenecks or providingshort-cuts.
The only interregional trade that currently relies solely upon oil
pipelines is between Russia and Europe.
Oil pipelines can range up to 36 inches (92 cm) in diameter andeven larger, with some of the largest pipeline carrying more thanone million barrels of oil daily.

Pipelines

Year 2012 - 2013
Strategic planning involves determining the shortest and mosteconomical routes where they are built and the number of pumpingor compressor stations along the lines.
Care for environmental and safety issues is taken in the constructionof pipelines and monitoring is crucial during in the operation ofpipelines.
Pipelines may be classified as:
Gathering pipelines Transmission pipelines Distribution pipelines
Pipelines maybe buried or surface pipelines.

Advantages: Little environmental impact if buried underground Fully automated Reduced traffic congestion and freight costs Economically sound investment
Disadvantages: Environmental and social concerns
Installation dangers and lack of qualified professionals Leaks & breakdowns: Hazardous and explosive materials Maintenance: Paraffin build-up Highly regulated

Oil Tankers
I ntr oduction to Petroleum Engineer ing
Year 2012 - 2013
They move unrefined raw crudes from oil production sites to refinerysites.
Crude carriers are classified as : Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) with capacities between 176,000 &
352,000 tons Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC)with capacities more than 352,000. Transmission pipelines
Transferring oil from large tankers to smaller ones, a process which
can move 1,000 barrels per hour, is used so that the smaller vesselscan enter smaller ports that the larger vessels.
The development of the super tanker came about due to an array offactors including Middle East hostilities that led to the closure of theSuez Canal and the nationalization of oil fields in the Middle East.
