Pipe Lines (No Natural Gas)

The Pipe Lines (No Natural Gas) industry, classified under SIC 4610, consists of companies that own, operate, and maintain long-haul pipeline networks transporting crude oil, refined petroleum products, natural gas liquids, CO₂, and other liquid hydrocarbons between production fields, storage hubs, refineries, and end-use industrial facilities. Typical customers include integrated energy majors, independent producers, refiners, petrochemical manufacturers, utilities, airlines, and large fuel distributors that depend on high-volume, low-cost, and reliable transport. Operators face significant risks, including spill events, aging infrastructure, physical and cyber security threats, and tight environmental and safety oversight from agencies such as PHMSA, FERC, and the EPA, alongside evolving climate and ESG-related regulations. In 2024–2025, industry trends include increased investment in integrity management, digital monitoring and automation, selective expansions to debottleneck key corridors, and early-stage growth of carbon capture and sequestration pipelines.
