Pipeline transport is the transportation of goods through a pipe. Most commonly, used to send liquid and gases, and the pneumatic tube that transport solid capsules using compressed air are also used it. In other words, any chemical stable substance can be sent through a pipeline.
Besides that, pipeline is a unique method of transport. The `way’ in transportation by the pipeline is important as an artificial way, and it usually constructed by a private user for his own particular purpose. For examples, today the crude oil and natural gas pipelines was owned and operated by oil and gas companies like Petronas.
In general, pipelines can be classified in three categories depending on it purpose. First is gathering pipelines which is a group of smaller interconnected pipelines that forming a complex network with the purpose of bringing crude oil or natural gas from several nearby wells to a treatment plant or processing facility. In this type, the pipelines are usually short which is about a couple of hundred meters and with a small diameters. A sub- sea pipelines for collecting product from deep water production platforms are also considered as a gathering systems. Second is a transportation pipelines. Mainly, long pipes with a large diameters can moving the products likes oil, gas and refined products between the cities, countries and even the continents. These transportation networks is include a several compressor stations in lines and pump stations for crude and multiproducts pipelines. And last but not least, is distribution pipelines which is a composed of several interconnected pipelines with a small diameters, which is used
