LEPA Press Releases
WASHINGTON, DC – On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia handed the Liquid Energy Pipeline Association (LEPA) a win in a case challenging a 2022 FERC action to change the method for calculating indexed pipeline rates without proper public comment.
WASHINGTON, DC, May 6, 2024 – Liquids pipeline incidents are down 23 percent over the last five years, according to a new pipeline safety report based on federal government pipeline incident data. The 2023 Performance Report & 2023-2025 Pipeline Excellence Strategic Plan, released jointly by the Liquid Energy Pipeline Association (LEPA) and American Petroleum Institute (API), reports on federal pipeline safety data collected by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) over the last five years. Liquids pipelines include those delivering crude oil, refined products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, natural gas liquids like propane, and carbon dioxide.
A large majority of Americans view pipelines favorably, especially pipelines that deliver energy, according to a new survey of public sentiment.
The Association of Oil Pipe Lines (AOPL) announced today it has changed its name to the Liquid Energy Pipeline Association (LEPA). The new name better reflects the range of products delivered and business models pursued by our member companies now and in the future.
