When many young adults think of oil pipeline companies, they think of something negative they’ve heard about them. Efforts by conservationists have made people acutely aware of the risks of improper installation and use of pipelines but have unfortunately done very little to teach the public just how much is done to prevent these relatively-rare instances. In fact, most oil pipeline companies are making more efforts to protect the ecosystems through which they run than any other organization or entity. Read on to find out more about today’s environmentally-conscious pipeline companies – and how they’re helping create a cleaner tomorrow without compromising today’s energy!
Myths, Busted
Oil pipeline companies don’t simply lay down pipes and transport fuels without first carefully considering the impact of these actions. Research goes into every part of the oilfield and pipeline construction processes. From field research to develop optimal paths for pipelines to ensure minimal disruption of ecosystems to determining past problems to keep them from happening again, oil companies are doing everything possible to make transporting oil and natural gas a cleaner, safer process.
Think oil companies rush into creating the oilfields and pipelines they need to get fuels to consumers? Think again. When deadlines can’t be reached because of environmental concerns or issues with stalled planning, these companies typically extend those deadlines to ensure the safety of staff, residents, and wildlife that might be impacted. There is much more that goes into creating safe pipelines than most people know!
Canada – Showing the World How Pipelines Should Be
Canada sets a standard for pipeline companies elsewhere. Alberta oil pipeline companies are some of the most technologically-advanced, as well as some of the cleanest and most environmentally-conscious in the entire world. Canada has been a leader in providing North America with the fuel it needs for many decades. With today’s techniques, they will continue to improve the lives of today’s citizens and fuel the drive toward a better, brighter tomorrow.
