Natural gas pipeline system in the United States
The US natural gas pipeline system is a complex system of pipelines that carries natural gas nationwide and for import and export for use by millions of people daily for their consumer and commercial needs. Across the country, there are more than 210 pipeline systems that total more than 305,000 miles of interstate and intrastate pipelines.〔US Energy Information Administration website, accessed Sept 18 2010, http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/natural_gas/analysis_publications/ngpipeline/index.html〕
Of the lower 48 US states, those with the most natural gas pipeline running through them are Texas (58,588 miles), Louisiana (18,900), Oklahoma (18,539), Kansas (15,386), Illinois (11,900) and California (11,770). The states with the least natural gas pipeline are Vermont and New Hampshire.〔US Energy Information Administration website, accessed Sept 18 2010, http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/natural_gas/analysis_publications/ngpipeline/index.html,〕
==Regulation==
The U.S. DOT Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) administers the national regulatory program to assure the safe and environmentally sound transportation of natural gas, liquefied natural gas and hazardous liquids by pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reviews and authorizes the operation of the interstate natural gas pipelines.〔FERC website, accessed Sept 18 2010, http://www.ferc.gov/about/ferc-does.asp〕 And, intrastate pipelines that run within one state and do not cross state boundaries are typically regulated by a state government agency. For example, in Texas, the Railroad Commission of Texas〔Railroad Commission of Texas website, accessed Sept 18 2010, http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/〕 regulates pipelines, and in Louisiana, it is the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources.〔Louisiana Dept of Natural Resources, accessed Sept 18 2010, http://dnr.louisiana.gov/sec/execdiv/about-dnr.htm〕
