Pipeline engineering can be considered to be one of the new domains that are in trend since past two decades. Basically, this pipeline engineering was introduced to find safe and sustainable transport option for hazardous materials such as crude oil, natural gas, and few chemicals.
Earlier, roadways were used by the organizations; there were lot of risks involved in this. Along with loosing the product there were also risks of blasts and fire accidents. Consistent research and search in options for safer mode of transport resulted in introducing pipeline transportation.
Though this method looks costlier it is actually cost effective, to be honest this mode of transportation is actually profitable to the organizations. We can say so because initially laying the pipeline is costlier but in long run it becomes cheaper as well as safer option.
As most of the organizations that belongs to oil and gas sector uses pipeline technology, further researches were conducted to reduce human resource in riskier areas. Software like Scada is used to completely automate the transportation process.
Here the software helps in monitoring the inflow and outflow, route mapping the raw material/product from source to destination, identifying the exact location of leakage if anything happens and many more similar functions. Since all the operations are automated need for human involvement is reduced to a great extent.
Most of the counties across the globe have already implemented the technology by installing pipelines from both their onshore and offshore plants. Hence professionals are needed for maintenance, and monitoring.
