Oil & Gas Pipelines

Description

Crude oil, also referred to as petroleum, is a resource that is drilled throughout the world. The oil is then refined into other petroleum products, like gasoline. Oil and natural gas are transported via pipeline, tanker ships, tank trucks, and rail cars. Pipelines are the most important mode of transportation for crude oil and natural gas. They are by far the safest and most environmentally friendly means of transportation. This book covers the engineering and operations of oil and gas pipelines, including basic design concepts, construction methodology, materials and equipment, and operations and maintenance. It is an invaluable resource for students and professionals in the field of petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, and civil engineering.
