Frequently Asked Questions

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) requires pipeline operators to report significant incidents including those involving fatalities, injuries requiring hospitalization, property damage exceeding $122,000, or significant environmental impact. This database contains 9,396 incident reports across 50 states.

The database covers four major pipeline system types: gas transmission (high-pressure long-distance), gas distribution (local delivery to consumers), hazardous liquid (petroleum, refined products, chemicals), and LNG (liquefied natural gas) facilities. Each type has distinct risk profiles and failure modes.

All data comes from PHMSA's official pipeline incident reports, published at phmsa.dot.gov. PHMSA is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation and is the federal agency responsible for pipeline safety regulation and enforcement.
