 The majority of the crude oil and
natural gas resources in Canada are transported by
pipelines. Buried more than a metre underground, the
pipeline is the only method used to send natural gas
throughout Canada. Liquid petroleum products can be
transported by pipeline, tanker, barge, rail, and
truck. With any of these systems, safety, efficiency,
and reliability are essential to its economic
success. However, pipelines are the safer delivery
system. According the transportation Safety board of
Canada, there were twenty accidents in 2003 reported
on federally regulated pipelines. In contrast, 521
marine shipping accidents, 1028 railway, and 297
aircraft accidents occurred in 2003. As a result,
pipeline transportation is the number one choice of
the industry.
