Pipelines are commonly used in heating and water supply systems and for oil and gas transportation. Pipelines operation problems lead to significant financial losses particularly in Russian Federation due to the considerable length of pipeline systems. This article describes the characteristics heating and water supply pipelines, hydrocarbons transportation and reservoir pressure maintaining system pipelines. The pipeline systems efficiency improvement technology development is substantiates.
