About transport services via pipeline

cpc code 6513, 'Transport services via pipeline', represents a critical component of the broader transportation and logistics industry. Pipelines are a highly efficient and cost-effective means of transporting various commodities, including oil, natural gas, and other liquid and gaseous products, over long distances. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the energy, manufacturing, and distribution sectors, which are essential to the overall functioning of the economy.

Production process

The transport of goods via pipeline involves a multi-step process. First, the commodity is extracted or processed and then pumped into the pipeline network. Specialized compressor stations are used to maintain the flow and pressure within the pipeline system. Advanced monitoring and control systems ensure the safe and efficient operation of the pipeline. Regular maintenance, including inspections and repairs, is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure the integrity of the pipeline infrastructure.

Production inputs

The pipeline transport industry relies on several key inputs, including the raw materials or commodities being transported, such as 1110 Crude petroleum and natural gas, 1120 Natural gas liquids, and 1311 Peat. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment, such as pumps, valves, and compressors, as well as a vast network of pipelines, storage facilities, and other supporting infrastructure. Skilled labor, including pipeline operators, engineers, and maintenance personnel, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the pipeline transport industry is the delivery of various commodities to their intended destinations, where they can be further processed, distributed, or consumed. The outputs of this industry are essential inputs for a wide range of other industries, including 1920 Refined petroleum products, 2011 Basic chemicals, and 2410 Basic metals. The efficient and reliable transport of these commodities via pipeline helps to support the broader economic activities that rely on them.
