Interstate pipeline

An interstate pipeline is a large system of pipes that transports oil, natural gas, or other substances across state lines within a country. These pipelines connect production sites, such as oil fields or gas plants, to distribution centers, where the materials can be processed or delivered to consumers. Interstate pipelines are crucial for energy supply, enabling efficient movement of resources over long distances while minimizing transport costs compared to trucks or trains. They are typically regulated by government agencies to ensure safety and environmental protection.
