Pipeline capacity
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002804
The maximum volume of fluid, typically measured in barrels per day for liquids or cubic feet per day for gas, that a pipeline system can transport under specified operating conditions. This capacity is determined by factors such as pipe diameter, length, pressure, and the number and power of pumping or compression stations. It dictates the throughput limits for hydrocarbon transportation.
