The volume of oil pipeline transport in the US has shown a trend of overall growth from 2013 to 2023. Starting at 1.0146 billion metric tons in 2013, it reached 1.2708 billion metric tons in 2023. This represents a general upward trajectory, despite some fluctuations, particularly in 2020 when there was a significant drop of 15.91% due to economic disruptions. The average growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years up to 2023 stands at 1.27%. Future projections indicate a consistent but modest increase in volume through 2028 with an anticipated 5-year CAGR of 0.95% and a total growth rate of 4.86%.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of regulatory changes and environmental policies on oil transportation volumes.
Technological advancements in pipeline infrastructure and monitoring systems.
Shifts in global oil demand and the potential for increased renewable energy sources.
