Petronet is the principal operator of South Africa's fuel pipeline system. It is responsible for over 3000 km of line. It is responsible for petroleum storage and pipeline maintenance. Petronet works with petrols, diesel fuel, jet fuel, crude oil and natural gas (methane rich gas). Total throughput is over 16 bn liters per year.
Petronet uses a telecontrol system to monitor its pipeline. The telecontrol system is by Siemens Systems and "allows for automatic leak detection and batch tracking". The system operates with a 4 second delay between an event in the pipeline and on-screen display in Durban.
The company's projects include a new multiproduct pipeline corridor between Gauteng and Durban. It is working on a partnership with Pande Gas in Mozambique.
It is a subsidiary of Transnet Limited.
