About the Industry
Pipelines
Large pipelines get oil and gas from the field to refineries and processing plants where they are turned into usable products. Smaller pipelines then transport these products – like natural gas – to consumers.
Pipelines vary from massive steel transmission lines more than a metre in diameter to plastic tubes just a few centimetres across.
Jobs in the pipeline sector are as diverse as the pipelines themselves. You could work in the field laying pipe, inspecting pipeline seals or talking to community members about a proposed pipeline route. Or you could work in an office managing pipeline systems or in a lab developing new pipeline technologies.
