By pipelines, I am assuming you are referring to oil pipelines. Oil pipelines have a number of benefits:
- Safer transport: pipelines are the safest transport method for fluids. Other modes of transport such as tankers and ships are more prone to accidents and oil spills.
- Smaller transport cost: Tankers and ships use fuel for transport; pipelines do not. In the longer run, the transport cost of pipelines is much less than many other modes of transport.
- Lesser environmental impact: Other modes of transport generate emissions, while pipelines do not. Pipelines have a lower overall environmental impact.
- More jobs: Constructing a pipeline generates a large number of jobs.
- Economic benefits: Pipelines add to the economy of the counties they pass through because of tax revenue.
- Energy security: Long-distance transport of fuel through pipelines provides fuel to the regions where it is in short supply and ensures long-term energy security.
Hope this helps.
