The construction and operation management of mountainous pipelines in Southwest China faces the "two major risks" of complicated geological changes and frequent human activities, and the "three problems" of poor applicability of laws, regulations and standards, low estimation for construction and management costs and lack of mountainous oil and gas pipeline technology, resulting in high systematic risk in pipeline management and great difficulty in its safety management and control. By analyzing the engineering characteristics and the difficulty of management and control of mountainous oil and gas pipeline, the idea was proposed to balance the two constraints of the unknown and uncontrollable risks and the inefficient management and control system relying on the digitalization and intelligence. Moreover, the general idea of digital transformation with "five longitudinal + two transverse pipelines and two systems" was put forward based on the actual business condition of the mountainous pipeline company, formi
