7 major oil and gas pipelines in India


 The establishment of pipeline installation companies has led to convenient, cost-effective, and efficient ways of transporting oil and gas over long distances. Assam was the first state in the country to discover oil deposits near the town of Digboi. The natural gas industry began in the 1960s after gas fields were discovered in Assam and Bombay high. In terms of energy consumption and oil consumption, India ranks third behind China and the US. India targets to bring this dependence by 10% by 2022.

Here’s a list of 7 major oil and gas pipelines that run in India.

Naharkatia-Noonmati-Barauni Pipeline

The oldest crude oil pipeline in India started from Naharkatia(Assam) oilfield to Noonmati(Assam). Later the transport was extended to Barauni, Bihar, and then to Kanpur, UP. It started in 1962 and has many subsidiary pipes now.  Noonmati-Siliguri, Lakwa-Rudrasagar-Barauni, and Haldia-Rajbandh-Maurigram pipeline are some of its subsidiaries. It’s 1,157 km long.

Mumbai High-Mumbai-Ankleshwar-Kayoli Pipeline

Another famous oil pipeline in India connecting Gujarat and Mumbai oilfields with the Koyali(Gujarat) refinery, this pipeline is designed to transport crude oil. This is a 210 km double pipeline to Mumbai High and transports crude oil and natural gas. The Ankleshwar-Koyali pipeline started in 1965.

Salaya-Koyali-Mathura Pipeline

One of the most important pipelines in India, this pipeline is 1256 km long. The pipeline installation was done starting from Salaya (Kachchh, Gujarat) to Koyali(UP) and then to Mathura(UP) passing through Viramgram. This pipeline supplies crude oil to the refinery in Mathura. Later it was extended Panipat(Haryana) oil refinery.

Hajira-Bijapur-Jagdishpur (HBJ) Gas Pipeline 

This gas pipeline in India is the longest with a length of 1750 km. This pipeline installation was done by the Gas Authority of India (GAIL). It crossed 75 rivers (big and small) and 29 railway crossings. It provides gas to 4 major states in the country - Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. 18 million cubic meters of gas is being transported every day to six fertilizer plants. The daily capacity of each fertilizer plant is approximately 1,350 tonnes of ammonia. These plants are in Jagdishpur, Shahjahanpur,  Sawai Madhopur, Aonla, Bijaipur, and Babrala. Being the world’s largest underground gas pipeline in India, it is extended to Delhi as well.

Jamnagar-Loni LPG Pipeline

From Jamnagar(Gujarat) to Loni(Uttar Pradesh), this is a very long and important pipeline constructed by GAIL. It is the first time that LPG has been transported via pipeline across a country. Along the route, LPG is received at Ajmer and Jaipur in Rajasthan.  

Kandla-Bhatinda Pipeline

IOC constructed his pipeline to transport crude oil to the Bhatinda refinery in Punjab. It is 1331 km long. Due to the increasing demand of the North-west region, this pipeline was extended from Mundra to Panipat and is now called as Mundra-Panipat pipeline. It is 1194 km long.

Kalol-Sabarmati Crude Pipeline and Nawgam-Kalol-Koyali Crude Pipeline - Gujarat

In Gujarat, there are many short-distance pipelines. Oil and gas pipeline in India is used to transport crude oil and natural gas, respectively. Crude oil and natural gas in Gujarat are transported to refineries using these pipeline installations. Later, from these refineries refined products are being sent to the local markets via short-distance pipelines. 

Apart from the ones mentioned above, there are other important gas and oil pipeline in India that support the country’s energy consumption. Pipeline installation companies like GAIL and IOC are very ambitious about their plans to construct more pipelines in the future. Raci Spacer distributor UAE
