buried pipelines in southwest Asia help reduce the danger of above ground accidents. however, oil spills on land do happen. because oil is such a valuable commodity' pipelines are carefully monitored.
They tend to be quite colorful as they are in many parts of the Arctic, and they are all raised above the ground to allow air to flow beneath due to the permafrost.
I would be inclined to believe that the pipeline was built above ground to avoid destroying the terrain that it runs through.Also dealing with the permafrost would prove costly and would have taken much longer to finish.Besides it makes maintaining it much easier.
