The TAG Pipeline System consists of three lines, four compressor stations, auxiliary equipment and several Intake and Offtake Points and leads from the Slovakian – Austrian border near Baumgarten an der March to the Austrian – Italian border near Arnoldstein covering a length of about 380 km. The TAG Pipeline System is used for supplying domestic customers in Austria as well as for the transit of natural gas to Italy. Via the SOL Pipeline System (S?d – Ost – Leitung) of OMV Gas GmbH, which diverges at Weitendorf from the TAG Pipeline System, transit to Slovenia is also possible

Oil pipeline connecting large storage facilities to the production facilities, refineries and/or onshore terminals

An independent company which owns and/or maintains energy transmission facilities. In the energy industry, the high-voltage energy corridors that carry large volumes of energy to towns, cities and industries are referred to as the transmission system; municipal and regional systems that directly serve residential and commercial customers are referred to as distribution companies, Distribution is considered a distinctly different service from transmission.

TransCanada received a license to lay a 2,760 km pipeline from the Prudhoe Bay in Alaska to the port of Alberta in Canada at a total investment of 27 billion dollars. The pipeline would follow the route of the existing trans-Alaska oil pipeline The pipeline is due to transmit 4.5 bcf of natural gas per day via Canada to the US. The government of Alaska intends develop the natural gas reserves discovered over a decade ago in the North Slope but which have remained untouched due to the lack of a means to transmit the reserves hitherto to consumers. TransCanada is one of the continent’s largest providers of gas storage and related services with approximately 355 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. A growing independent power producer, TransCanada owns, controls or is developing approximately 10,900 megawatts of power generation

Gas can be transported and exported either by being transmitted in pipelines; the second option is as compressed natural gas that reduces its volume to 1% or less than its original volume and for longer distances as liquefied natural gas which reduces its volume into a liquid that has less than 0.1% of the original volume of when it was in gaseous form

Scheduled large-scale maintenance activity wherein an entire process unit is taken off stream for an extended period for comprehensive revamp and renewal.
