Oputa emphasized that pipelines have remained vital network in the transportation of crude oil and natural gas from well head to storage and for various utilizations: domestic, commercial and inter-regional distributions. In Oputa’s explanation, since the first time in the world that bamboo was used in China to transport crude oil from production points, pipelines have continued to be the significant bridge between upstream, midstream and downstream. It has helped to ease transportation and distribution of products domestically and regionally, reduce cost, enhance safety, ensure operational efficiency in the supply chain and energize socio-economic development.
In fact, pipelines as essential infrastructure in every producing nation have been dubbed “Pipeline of wealth and economic buoyancy”. This depicts its extreme importance in the oil and gas value chain.
