P&gj's Worldwide Pipeline Construction Report

摘要

Last year proved to be a record-setting year for the pipeline sector and ongoing demand for natural gas should continue to drive new and planned pipeline construction in 2009. This is reflected in P&GJ's latest worldwide figures that indicate 160,136 miles of new and planned oil and gas pipelines are under construction and planned.rnNorth American pipeline companies are planning and constructing 35,217 miles of oil and gas pipelines. The remaining 124,919 miles represent new and planned pipelines worldwide.rnWhile planned pipeline mileage in North America exceeds construction, opportunities for future North American construction is anticipated. An excerpt from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, Additions to Capacity on the U.S. Natural Gas Pipeline Network: 2007, on page 22, describes where future additions are likely to be concentrated in the U.S. through 2010.
