“…These concerns have lingered in an era where the other modes of transportation have been deregulated. See Coburn (1988) for an excellent description of the history of pipeline regulation. The current responsive environment, however, shows little evidence of high concentration, for the reasons listed in the subsections below:…”

Despite considerable literature regarding other modes of transportation, little is written about oil pipelines. This is remarkable given that oil pipelines move 17% of all intercity ton miles, but also understandable because they have a low public profile and, with near total automation, have few employees. This article attempts to bridge the gap by comparing pipeline operations and those of the other modes, showing striking similarities along with a few significant differences. It also portrays pipeline markets and their changing trends. In recent years, oil pipelines have served an industry that is experiencing rapidly shifting geographical markets, proliferation of new products, and outsourcing of transportation by shippers. The pipeline industry has responded to these challenges with increased competitive entry, numerous capital construction projects, and a high reliance on technology. These issues, along with the regulatory constraints and responses are portrayed.

“…Next, we shall outline ceiling price regulation and examine the evolution of pricing behaviour, in light of the effects price regulation, the emergence of new suppliers and the strategies of the Spanish and new firms.' This will illustrate how a market with an oligopolistic structure for a homogeneous product remained nof contesrable (see Baumol et al, 1988) for quite some time after its formal liberalization, as a consequence of the interplay between the firms' strategies and ceiling price regulation. Finally we will point out some remaining impediments to competition.…”

This paper examines the evolution of the Spanish gasoline market from the abolition of the state oil monopoly (January 1993) to "complete" liberalisation (October 1998). With the restructuring of the Spanish oil sector during the 1980s and early 1990s, a highly concentrated oligopoly emerged in the automotive fuels market. A system of price ceilings replaced the state administered prices in July 1990. Since then, new domestic and foreign operators have entered the market, particularly along the coast, near import terminals. Prices went up and then declined. These developments can be explained by an interplay of factors such as: the gradual decline in co-operation among the Spanish firms; the loss of market share of the largest of these, Repsol; the entry of independent operators and supermarkets; and the impact of the ceiling price system. By mid-1998 this system was abolished as the government considered it an "impediment" to further market liberalisation. However, some crucial barriers to the entry of new suppliers remain.

“…Con respecto al ferrocarril, para transportar la misma cantidad de producto que el oleoducto con las características descritas, y según Trench (2001), se necesitaría el envío diario de un convoy de 75 vagones (cada uno de ellos con una capacidad de 2000 barriles), la descarga del contenido y su regreso al origen. En cuanto al uso de buques cisterna, aunque los costes de transporte resultan competitivos frente al transporte por oleoducto (Coburn, 1988), en numerosas ocasiones, las restricciones de tipo geográfico (puntos interiores o inaccesibles) convierten al oleoducto en la única alternativa económica viable.…”
