Natural Gas Pipelines
In addition to liquids, pipelines also move wet natural gas, from which NGLs are extracted, and dry natural gas, which is used as input in refinery and petrochemical plant operations and for power generation. Virtually all natural gas supply is transported and distributed by pipeline. In 2016, the natural gas pipeline network included 18,000 miles of gathering pipelines at production fields, 300,000 miles of transmission pipelines that transport gas over long distances, and 2.2 million miles of distribution system pipelines that deliver gas directly to individual neighborhoods and consumers. 11
