WASHINGTON, January 15, 2014 ─ Pipelines are extremely safe and efficient for transporting energy across the United States, the industry’s continual efforts to improve the safety of the nation’s network of crude and petroleum product pipelines have reduced pipeline incidents by 62 percent from 2001-2012, according to a new report by API and the Association of Oil Pipe Lines.
API管道总监Peter Lidiak说：“从统计上讲，管道的安全记录将近100％，并且达到完美的安全记录是我们行业的目标。”“这项工作的关键是通过改善检查技术，管理实践和监督来防止事故。在这方面，自2012年以来，该行业已经实施了最佳实践，使腐蚀引起的溢出量降低了近80％。”
2012年，将近186,000英里的液体管道运输了超过140亿桶的原油和石油产品，这为美国提供了为房屋，企业和商业提供动力的能源。根据年度液体管道安全性绩效报告和战略计划，该行业还投资了16亿美元的基础设施安全，并通过“智能PIG”在线技术检查了超过35,000英里的管道。
利迪亚克说：“管道是该国基础设施的重要组成部分，对于创造就业机会，发展我们国家的经济和确保我们光明的能源未来至关重要。”
API是一个国家贸易协会，代表美国技术驱动的石油和天然气行业的所有细分市场。Its more than 580 members – including large integrated companies, exploration and production, refining, marketing, pipeline, and marine businesses, and service and supply firms – provide most of the nation’s energy and are backed by a growing grassroots movement of more than 20 million Americans. The industry also supports 9.8 million U.S. jobs and 8 percent of the U.S. economy, delivers $85 million a day in revenue to our government, and, since 2000, has invested over $2 trillion in U.S. capital projects to advance all forms of energy, including alternatives.
