API and the Association of Oil Pipe Lines (AOPL) have recently released a report, confirming that pipelines continue to be one of the safest ways of efficiently transporting energy across the US.
The report highlights liquid pipeline safety performance and industry-wide efforts to improve pipeline safety in 2016 and beyond. It summarises industry-wide pipeline safety principles, provides a transparent analysis of industry safety records (including where performance is improving and where challenges remain) and outlines the significant efforts that liquid pipeline operators continue to make in advancing technologies and implementing innovative approaches to inspecting, monitoring and managing pipeline safety programmes.
