Le pipeline simple est un long tuyau muni de pompes, de soupapes et d'organes de régulation. Un réseau de pipelines est un regroupement de systèmes, d'artères principales et de systèmes de distribution semblable aux racines, au tronc et aux branches d'un arbre. Ce système de collecte transporte donc un mélange composé de pétrole, de gaz et parfois d'eau des puits de production vers les points de ramassage, comme les usines de traitement et de purification où on extrait l'eau du pétrole et où on sépare le pétrole du gaz. 3, record 1, French, - contaminat
