Pipeline Transport in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Pipeline Transport in Australia

The Pipeline Transport industry operates large pipelines, particularly high-pressure gas transmission pipelines. Gas transmission accounts for the vast majority of industry activity. The industry provides a vital connection between gas producers and gas retailers, which distribute gas via low-pressure distribution pipelines. Industry operators also supply gas to major industrial firms. Demand for industry services is driven by final demand for energy in the Australian economy, and demand from export markets served by Australian oil and gas fields. Industry operators have benefited from increasing domestic gas consumption over the past five years, and Australia's proximity to Asian markets, as these countries are some of the world's largest consumers of natural gas.

Industry firms operate transmission pipelines transporting oil, gas, water or other materials on a contract or fee basis. Transmission pipelines carry commodities from the region they are extracted or processed to the next stage in their supply chain, be it further transport, export or use.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
