LEPA Press Releases
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.
The Association of Oil Pipe Lines (AOPL) and the American Petroleum Institute (API) today released their annual 2021 Pipeline Safety Excellence Performance Report, which found that the safety of liquids pipelines increased across several key indicators. Thanks to an industry culture of “safety first, safety always” and a commitment to zero incident operations, liquids pipeline incidents impacting people or the environment have declined by 31 percent over the past five years, even while pipeline mileage and barrels per day have increased nearly 10 percent.
On February 1, a coalition of energy product transporters and manufacturers joined to support litigation to keep open a major pipeline serving Michigan, surrounding states and Canada. Coalition partners represent residential propane suppliers, propane and crude oil pipeline operators, and gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and industrial raw materials manufacturers. The coalition filed an amicus brief in federal district court in support of litigation to block the State of Michigan’s attempt to shut down the Line 5 pipeline.
