Pipelines is the largest multi-product pipeline operator in Southern Africa with more than 55 years’ experience in operating and maintaining a 3 114km high-pressure petroleum and gas pipeline network in South Africa. The core strategic mandate of Pipelines is to ensure petroleum security of supply for the inland market and gas security of supply for the KwaZulu-Natal market using environmentally responsible methods while ensuring optimum efficiencies. Pipelines is strategically positioned to enable regional integration from pipelines to other modes of transport. Pipelines is regulated by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa).
Our Mandate
Pipelines offers its customers a world-class, fully integrated, cost-efficient multi-product hydrocarbon pipeline supply chain management service from source to destination. Pipelines transports crude oil, refined petroleum products (two grades of unleaded petrol - ULP 93 and ULP 95, two grades of diesel – D50 and D10), aviation turbine fuel (avtur, commonly referred to as jet fuel) and methane-rich gas through a network of underground, high-pressure petroleum and gas pipeline infrastructure from South Africa’s ports and inland refineries to its customers’ distribution depots throughout the industrial heartland of the country as well as to KwaZulu-Natal.
Our Capabilities and Services
The TPL network traverses five provinces (KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West) and includes an inland accumulation facility, located in the strategic node of Jameson Park, Gauteng (TM2), with a capacity of 180Mℓ which facilitates security of supply to the inland economic hub and surrounding areas as well as a 29Mℓ tank farm in Tarlton which allows for storage and distribution (rail and road) to clients. Pipelines is set to begin work on the construction of the coastal terminal development at Island View in the port of Durban in 2024. A seamless integrated rail and pipeline service offering to customers is currently in operation to OR Tambo International Airport to ensure jet fuel security of supply from the coast and inland storage points.
