Streamline · Pipeline Planner

Pipeline Planner — Optimal natural gas pipeline design in minutes, not weeks.

The first pipeline simulator built for users with a more commercial than technical profile, yet grounded in the methodologies used in detailed engineering.

How it works

STEP 1
Design the route
Draw the pipeline route on an interactive map. You can also paste coordinates or upload a KML/KMZ file.
STEP 2
Define the parameters
Define the gas and project parameters. You can be as specific as you like or use the defaults suggested by the simulator.
STEP 3
The simulator runs everything
The simulator automatically runs all commercial pipe diameters and filters out those that are not technically viable.

As a result you get, for the technically viable diameters:

Pressure and velocity curve
Hydraulic profile along the pipeline for each technically viable diameter.
CAPEX, OPEX and fuel gas
Initial investment, annual operating cost, and annual fuel gas cost for compression, broken down by component.
Levelized tariff
Levelized transport tariff over the full project term, split into capacity and throughput components.
Compression stations
Sizing and placement of the required compression stations: power, pressures, and fuel gas consumption.

This is what you see:

Required inlet pressure by diameter
Required inlet pressure for each candidate diameter — the engine flags which ones need intermediate compression.
Hydraulic pressure profile along the pipeline with intermediate compression stations
Hydraulic profile for the selected diameter, including the intermediate compression stations the engine sizes and places.
CAPEX, OPEX and levelized tariff by diameter
CAPEX, OPEX and the levelized transport tariff compared across every viable diameter.

Natural gas compression station
Compression stations sized by the engine when the route requires them.

The simulator evaluates all viable candidate diameters and suggests as optimal the one that results in the lowest transport tariff, considering CAPEX, OPEX and fuel gas for compression.

Use and liability notice

Streamline Pipeline Planner is a technical-economic prefeasibility calculator for natural gas pipelines. It does not store the user's personal information, project data or results; all processing happens on demand and files are downloaded locally. Results are estimates for preliminary analysis; they do not replace detailed engineering, impact studies, permits or the regulatory validations required to build or operate a pipeline. Streamline Pipeline Planner is not responsible for how the information generated on this platform is used, nor for decisions made based on it.

Cookies and storage

We use cookies and local browser storage in two categories:

  • Necessary: your project progress in the wizard (route, parameters, financial inputs) and the admin panel session. Without these the simulator does not work; they are always active.
  • Optional: Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads (conversion tag). They allow us to measure traffic and the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are only loaded if you give your consent in the banner that appears when you enter the site.

You can change your choice at any time via the "Configure cookies" link in the page footer.
