The gas gathering pipeline length in the US is projected to decrease from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 13.99 thousand lane miles in 2024, this measurement is expected to decline to 12.53 by 2028. Compared to 2023 figures, this indicates a continued downward trend. Year-on-year, we observe a consistent decline in pipeline length, reflecting a significant contraction in infrastructure over five years with an average annual reduction.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in pipeline efficiency and maintenance.
- Regulatory changes impacting infrastructure investments.
- Shifts in energy demand affecting the gas industry dynamics.
