Natural gas pipeline transportation is the process of transporting natural gas from its source to its end user. This is done through a network of pipelines, which are typically made of steel and are buried underground. The natural gas is transported from the production site to the end user through a series of compressor stations, which increase the pressure of the gas and help it move through the pipeline. The natural gas is then delivered to the end user, such as a home or business, through a meter.
