The US is expected to lead in terms of global trunk or transmission pipeline length additions for planned and announced (new-build) projects between 2019 and 2023, contributing around 21% of global new-build pipeline additions by 2023, according to GlobalData, a data and analytics company.
The company’s report, “H2 2019 Global Length and Capital Expenditure Outlook for Oil and Gas Pipelines – India and the US Dominate New-Build Pipeline Length Additions”, reveals that the US is set to have a planned new-build pipeline length of 14 162 km and an announced new-build pipeline length of 20 230 km by 2023.

The pipeline is proposed from a pump station in Guernesy to an oil terminal at Cushing VII. It is expected to start operations in 2021.”
India ranks second highest globally, in terms of trunk or transmission pipeline length additions, with a new-build planned and announced pipeline length of 23 344 km by 2023. The Jagdishpur-Haldia gas pipeline in India is the major upcoming planned pipeline project with a proposed length of 2655 km. It is expected to start operations in 2020.
