The pipeline industry is a vital part of the oil industry. Pipes carry oil and gas far faster and more efficiently than container ships. Once in place, they operate in all weather conditions and are less likely to damage the environment through oil or gas loss.

Smaller fields far from land or existing pipelines can not justify the large initial cost of pipe installation.

After installation, they require regular inspection and maintenance.

Aside from oil and gas, pipeline companies operate in several industries, including water and sewage distribution.
