Refined Petroleum Pipeline Transportation in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Refined Petroleum Pipeline Transportation in the US

The industry has performed well in recent years despite volatile energy prices. Higher transport fees enabled transporters to receive favorable tariff hikes from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which dictates these fees. So greater domestic refinery output during the period has led to higher transportation volumes. Industry performance depends mostly on these volumes, insulating operators from direct commodity price volatility. Despite revenue falling in 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the strong rebound has seen revenue surge higher than pre-pandemic levels. Industry revenue has decreased at a CAGR of 3.3% to $13.6 billion over the past five years, including an increase of 2.4% in 2023 alone.
