KEY: R = revised; U = data are not available.

a Includes trunk and gathering lines.

b Excludes service pipe. Data are not adjusted to common diameter equivalent. Mileage as of the end of each year.

c 'Total gas pipeline in 2004 does not add to total due to rounding by the data source.

d After 1975, includes 5,000-6,200 miles of underground storage pipe.

e Before 1990, data include field line mileage.

NOTES

Mileage data reported in Gas Facts, prior to 1990, was taken from the American Gas Association's member survey, the Uniform Statistical Report, supplemented with estimates for companies that did not participate. Gas Facts mileage data is now based on information reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation on Form 7100.

CO2 or other is excluded from the Oil pipeline for 2004 to 2007
