Petroleum supports everything from electricity generation and transportation to plastics manufacturing and textiles creation. It would be hard, if not impossible, to bring this natural resource to market quickly, affordably, and safely without the distribution sector.
Pipeline operators can improve the flow of crude oil and natural gas with assistance from Inline Services. We produce pigging and liquid product recovery equipment that boosts production capacity by improving flow rates while reducing downtime and waste.
The Importance Of Petroleum Distribution
Petroleum distribution is a step in the crude oil and natural gas production supply chain. Typical activities include the storage and transportation of process media from the well to the final points of sale.
Distributors operate pipelines and storage or transmission facilities. The fluids and gases transported are processed into a variety of finished products.
- Gasoline
- Petrol
- Natural Gas
- Diesel Fuel
- Kerosene
- Liquified Petroleum Gas, or LPG
- Jet Fuel
- And more
Moving precious natural resources requires expertise and well-functioning pipelines. Process media can restrict flow or cause blockages and contamination, which is detrimental. With Inline Services, we can help you solve these problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Petroleum Distribution in the Oil and Gas Supply Chain?
Petroleum distribution is a step in the crude oil and natural gas supply chain. It covers storage and transportation of process media from the well to the final points of sale, using pipelines and storage or transmission facilities.
What Products Move Through Petroleum Distribution Pipelines?
The fluids and gases transported are processed into finished products such as gasoline, petrol, natural gas, diesel fuel, kerosene, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), jet fuel, and more.
What Problems Can Process Media Cause in Distribution Pipelines?
Process media can restrict flow or cause blockages and contamination, which is detrimental to distribution. Keeping pipelines well-functioning is needed to move these natural resources quickly, affordably, and safely.
How Does Pigging Improve Petroleum Pipeline Flow and Capacity?
Inline Services pigging and liquid product recovery equipment boosts production capacity by improving flow rates while reducing downtime and waste. It helps operators improve the flow of crude oil and natural gas.
Can Pigs Clear Blockages in Petroleum Pipelines Without Shutdown?
Yes. Inline Services can help recover previously trapped products and clear blockages without shutting down a line. The idea is simple: what is pumped can be pigged.
What Is Pumped Can Be Pigged
Instead of making do with subpar pipeline fluid flow, turn to Inline Services. We can help recover previously trapped product and clear blockages without shutting down a line.
