India Will Dominate Oil, Gas Transmission Pipeline Length Additions in Asia
In a release sent to Rigzone recently by the GlobalData team, the company said India will dominate oil and gas transmission pipeline length additions in Asia by 2028.
“India is expected to be at the forefront in terms of the trunk/transmission oil and gas pipeline network additions in Asia, accounting for more than 40 percent of the region’s total pipeline length additions by 2028,” the global data and analytics company stated in the release.
GlobalData’s release highlighted that an outlook report by the company on oil and gas pipelines revealed that India “is likely to witness the start of operation of more than 50 planned and announced pipelines by 2028, adding a total transmission pipeline length of over 26,000km”.
Of this figure, around 24,000km would be from planned pipelines that have received necessary approvals for development, GlobalData pointed out in the release.
Bhargavi Gandham, an oil and gas analyst at GlobalData, noted in the release that “natural gas and product pipelines account for more than 80 percent of the upcoming transmission pipeline length additions in India by 2028”.
Gandham added that the upcoming Kandla–Gorakhpur product pipeline is likely to be the longest among all the upcoming pipelines with a length of 2,809km.
“The other significant addition to the country’s pipeline network is the planned Mehsana–Bhatinda natural gas pipeline,” Gandham said, noting that the pipeline will run a length of 1,834km.
“With a length of 1,755km, Mumbai–Nagpur–Jharsuguda, a natural gas pipeline, is the next significant contributor to pipeline additions,” Gandham went on to state.
In a separate release sent to Rigzone by GlobalData in May, the company said India is poised to take the lead in the number of liquid storage projects in Asia that are expected to start operations during 2024-2028, “contributing about 42 percent of the region’s total project count by 2028”.
