All Rights Reserved Current Infrastructure: Oil Transportation Crude oil pipelines in the U.S. currently transport approximately 7.1 billion barrels per year. A majority of the flow of crude oil is concentrated in the midwest corridor, ranging from the gulf states to the oil refineries of the midwest. Increasing amounts of Canadian oil sands crude oil is being imported to the U.S. via pipeline.

All Rights Reserved Crude Oil Transportation by Mode Crude oil pipelines are currently being operated at their maximum capacity, as a result crude oil transportation by rail has risen 166% in the past 12 months. Shipping crude oil via pipeline is one-third the price by rail. crude-transport#p2
