Oil transportation refers to the process of moving crude oil and refined petroleum products from production sites to refineries and distribution centers. This is typically done using pipelines, tankers, and trucks. Pipelines are the most common method, as they can efficiently transport large volumes over long distances. Tankers are large ships designed to carry oil across oceans, while trucks are used for shorter distances or to deliver oil to specific locations. Safety measures are crucial in oil transportation to prevent spills and environmental damage, ensuring that the process is both effective and responsible.
