Abstract: Informatization construction of oil and gas pipelines consists of three layers, that is, implementation layer, management layer and strategic decision layer. Each layer is composed of different information systems. With the development of information technology, the advent of The Internet of Things technology will bring a new growth to the three layers of informatization construction. Through analyzing the obvious contradictions produced in the course of development of oil and gas pipeline companies, the architecture of The Internet of Things for pipelines is proposed, which includes perception layer, transport layer and application layer. And its application architecture is consisted of data integration application layer and intelligent network layer of pipeline. The Internet of Things for pipelines connects with assets and devices through sensors to establish data integration system to realize comprehensive data analysis and utilization, and thus the optimal management over each link of pipeline operation based on the intelligent application platform developed for business demands will be realized.
