The results of investigations and measurements of actual pressure values carried out recently in technological-field pipelines show that the nature of pressure distribution in multi-phase pipelines differs from those in mono-phase ones.

The paper analyzes the aspects affecting the pressure distribution in gas-saturated fluids in the presence of phase transformations. Considering the changes in compressibility of gas-saturated mixture, a mathematical model for pressure distribution through the length of pipeline has been developed.

It was defined that depending on the compressibility ratio and flow regime, the pressure distribution in multi-phase pipeline decreases steadily at an exponential rate.
