Pipelines In India

Pipelines In India:  Pipeline transport network is relatively new in India. Earlier, pipelines only transported water to cities and industries, but now they are used for transporting crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas from oil and natural gas fields to refineries, fertiliser factories and big thermal power plants. Such pipelines are located underground. Solids like iron ore can also be transported through a pipeline when converted into slurry. The far inland locations of refineries like Barauni, Mathura, Panipat and various gas based fertiliser plants are viable because of pipelines. Initial cost of laying pipelines is high (especially for underground pipelines), but subsequent running costs are minimal. This mode of material transportation has limitations such as trans-shipment losses or delays.

Important Pipeline Networks: Important pipeline transportation networks for oll and gas are

  • From oil fields in upper Assam to Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) via Guwahati, Barauni and Allahabad. This route has petroleum product branches from Barauni to Haldia via Rajbandh to Maurigram and Guwahati to Siliguri.
  •  From Salaya in Gujarat to Jalandhar in Punjab, via Viramgam, Mathura, Delhi and Sonipat. It has branches to connect Koyali (near Vadodara, Gujarat), Chakshu and other places.
  • Gas pipeline from Harire in Gujarat to Jaglishpur (UP) vie Vijaipur (MP). It has branches to Kota in Rajasthan, Shahjahanpur, Babrala and other places in Uttar Pradesh.
