Pipeline Operations
Pipeline operations involve the transportation of liquids and gases through a network of pipes. This process is essential for moving resources like oil, natural gas, and water from production sites to processing facilities and end-users. Operators monitor the flow, pressure, and temperature within the pipelines to ensure safety and efficiency.
To maintain pipeline integrity, regular inspections and maintenance are conducted. This includes using smart pigs, which are devices that travel through the pipeline to detect any issues such as leaks or corrosion. Effective pipeline operations are crucial for minimizing environmental impact and ensuring a reliable supply of resources.
