natural gas pipelines

Methane transport tubes

Natural gas pipelines are systems of large-diameter tubes that transport natural gas from production sites to processing facilities, storage, and end users.

These pipelines form vast networks spanning continents, moving gas under high pressure across thousands of miles.

The explosion was traced to a corroded section of natural gas pipeline.

Pipeline politics often figure in international relations, as routes determine which countries control energy flow.
