(OP)
Was just looking for some help on how to calculate the pressure in a pipeline at a particular location. Consider the attached image for example. How would I calculate the pressure at the green arrow?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you don't know what the flow rate is then you need all the details regarding the supply pressure, pipe length and diameters etc so that you can first calculate the flow rate. If you have all these details and you have worked out the flow rate then you could work from the left as described by bimr, or you could work from the right. Basically, you need to work from a point of known pressure and calculate all the losses from the known point to the green arrow.

Independent events are seldomly independent.

Note all these assume the pipe is fully liquid. If the pipe entered into the gas void at the top, then all bets are off unless the flow is such that the pipe remains fluid filled.
Confused you?
