The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline (sometimes abbreviated as BTC pipeline) transports crude oil 1,760 km (1,093 miles) from the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli oil field in the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. It passes through Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan; Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia; and Ceyhan, a port on the south-eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, hence its name. It is the second longest oil pipeline in the world (the longest being the Druzhba pipeline from Russia to central Europe). ...more on Wikipedia about "Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline"
Blue Stream is a major trans- Black Sea gas pipeline operated by the Russian gas monopoly Gazprom that carries natural gas from Russia into Turkey. The pipeline was built with the intent of diversifying gas sources, according to Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller. By 2010, Blue Stream is expected to be operating at full capacity, delivering 16 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Total length of the pipe is 1213 km. The total cost of the Blue Stream pipeline came to $3.2 billion, including $1.7 billion spent on building its underwater segment. ...more on Wikipedia about "Blue Stream"

Coal pipelines are pipelines used to transport coal from where it is mined to where it is consumed. For very short distances, large trucks are used to transport coal, but trains and barges are preferred for long distances. In some cases it is more economical to move the coal by pipeline than by train or barge. This can happen when there is no suitable railway or waterway to transport the coal, or when it must be moved very long distances. ...more on Wikipedia about "Coal pipeline"
The Druzhba pipeline is the world's longest oil pipeline (the next longest being the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline). It was constructed in Soviet times to transport oil from central Russia to points west over a distance of some 4,000 km (2,500 miles). The name "Druzhba" means "friendship", alluding to the fact that the pipeline was intended to supply oil to the energy-hungry western regions of the Soviet Union, to its "fraternal socialist allies" in the former Soviet bloc, and to western Europe. Today, it is one of the principal arteries for the transportation of hydrocarbons across Europe. ...more on Wikipedia about "Druzhba pipeline"
The Government Pipelines and Storage System (GPSS) is a United Kingdom pipeline system run by Oil and Pipelines Agency for the MOD.

The network was built before WWII and was used to supply fuel for Operation Pluto. ...more on Wikipedia about "Government Pipelines and Storage System"
A 600 mile dual pipeline is Iraq's largest crude oil export line. The 40 inch line has a fully-operational capacity of 1.1 million bbl/d, but reportedly could handle only around 900,000 bbl/d pre-war. The line has been the main target for sabotage since 2003 and is open only sporadically. Capacity of the line is believed to be as high as 600,000 bbl/d, with significant repairs still required. ...more on Wikipedia about "Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline"
The Lakehead Pipeline, also known as the Lakehead System, is one of the largest oil pipeline systems in the world, totaling 3,100 miles (4,990 km) in length including multiple paths. 1,880 miles (3,025 km) of the system is in the United States while the rest is in Canada. On average, it delivers 1.4 million barrels (222,582 m³) of crude oil and other products each day to the major oil refineries in the American Midwest and the Canadian province of Ontario. The Canadian portion is owned by Enbridge, while the U.S. portion is partly owned by that company through Enbridge Energy Partners, LP, formerly known as Lakehead Pipe Line Partners and Lakehead Pipe Line Company. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lakehead Pipeline"

The North Dakota System is a 950- mile (1530 km) crude oil pipeline system that collects oil from fields in the Williston Basin in Montana and North Dakota and transports it eastward to the Mandan Refinery in Mandan, North Dakota and to other pipeline systems that carry oil to other refineries in the Midwest. About 330 miles (530 km) of pipeline are used for collection from oil wells, and this connects to a 620-mile (1,000 km) main transportation line. ...more on Wikipedia about "North Dakota System"

Operation Pluto (Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean) was a World War II operation by British scientists, oil companies and armed forces to construct undersea oil pipelines under the English Channel between England and France. The scheme was developed by AC Hartley, chief engineer with the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, after Admiral Louis Mountbatten initiated the concept. Allied forces on the European continent required a tremendous amount of fuel; pipelines were considered necessary to relieve dependence on oil tankers, which could be slowed by bad weather, were susceptible to German submarines, and were also needed in the Pacific War. ...more on Wikipedia about "Operation Pluto"

Slurry pipelines are used to transport aggregate materials by embedding them in a fluid, usually water. At the end of the pipeline, the material is dehydrated, and the aggregate is thus available. However, the water that is removed may contain environmentally hazardous materials and create an environmental problem. Typical materials that are transferred using slurry pipelines include coal, copper, iron, and phosphate concentrates, limestone, lead, zinc, nickel, bauxite and oil sands. ...more on Wikipedia about "Slurry pipeline"
