In December, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) updated its Liquids Pipeline Projects Database of more than 240 future and historical liquids pipeline projects in the United States since 2010. These pipelines carry crude oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGLs), and petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other refinery products).
EIA’s database contains project type, start dates, capacity, mileage, geographic information, and project status. EIA tracks expanded, reversed, converted, and new pipeline projects. Not all pipelines are independent projects; some projects are connected to each other and carry the same liquid to its final destination. As a result, simply summing the capacity of all projects could result in overestimating or double-counting.
