How is oil transported?

There are multiple primary modes of transporting oil:

- Oil Tankers:

- Oil tankers are specialized ships designed to transport large volumes of oil and petroleum products across the oceans. They have segregated cargo tanks to prevent oil spills and maintain cargo stability.

- Pipelines:

- Oil pipelines are extensive networks of underground or above-ground pipes used to transport crude oil and refined petroleum products over long distances. These pipelines are commonly constructed across countries and continents, connecting oil-producing regions to refineries, distribution centers, and consumer markets.

- Rail Cars:

- Specially designed rail cars, called tanker cars, are used for transporting oil and petroleum products via railways. Tanker cars are equipped with safety measures to prevent leaks or spills during transportation.

- Tank Trucks:

- Tank trucks, also known as oil tankers or petroleum tankers, are used to transport oil and petroleum products over shorter distances on roads and highways. They typically transport oil from refineries or storage terminals to local distribution centers or end-users.
