Petroleum Products Pipelines

Petroleum Products Pipelines This feature layer, utilizing data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), displays major petroleum pipelines in the United States. Per Pipeline 101, "Refined product pipelines carry refined petroleum products like gasoline, jet fuel, home heating oil and diesel fuel. These pipelines vary in size from relatively small (12 inches in diameter) to much larger (42 inches in diameter). There are approximately 64,000 miles of refined product pipelines nationwide. Product pipelines deliver petroleum products to large fuel terminals with storage tanks that are then loaded into tanker trucks. Trucks cover the last few miles to make local deliveries to gas stations and homes. Major industries, airports and electrical power generation plants are supplied with refined products directly by pipelines." The source pipeline data was created by EIA using publicly available data from a variety of sources with varying scales and levels of accuracy.
