Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas

Overview

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the pipeline transportation of natural gas from processing plants to local distribution systems. This industry includes the storage of natural gas because the storage is usually done by the pipeline establishment and because a pipeline is inherently a network in which all the nodes are interdependent.

The immediate parent of national industry 486210 is international industry 48621: Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas
