World's Longest Natural Gas Pipelines

            Petroleum  and Natural Gas Industry is one of the top rank industry that are still in growth and develop to more and more beneficial in generate income of country. Over the past half century, the world’s energy-economy has been shaped by the politics of building and protecting large oil pipelines spanning thousands and thousands of miles.

            So, the petroleum is one of liquid that transport by pipe. Same goes to natural gas as one of commodities that to be haul by this kind of mode of transportation. Pipeline transport is one of the types of transportation mode which transport, deliver or send the specific goods through a pipe . Commonly, liquids and gases are sent by this mode.  In many ways, who controls the pipeline is as important as who controls the oil.

            Now, a new generation of mega pipeline is being built to bring massive amounts of natural gas from some of the most remote regions of the world to many of the most densely populated center of commerce and industry. The mega size of pipe gives the advantage to haul the commodities in high volume, so that the shipper can achieve economies of scale.
