Pipeline Transportation Operations

Buckeye Partners owns and operates approximately 6,000 miles of underground pipelines serving approximately 100 delivery locations. These pipelines transport refined petroleum products including gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil and kerosene from major supply sources to distribution terminals located in major end-use markets. Our pipelines also transport products such as propane and butane, natural gas liquids, refinery feedstocks and blending components. Pipeline transportation service typically is provided on a common-carrier basis under published tariffs for over 100 customers.

Our pipelines provide a vital transportation link between major petroleum refining and supply locations and consumption centers, including major metropolitan areas. Buckeye’s operations deliver consistent results because (i) pipeline volumes are driven primarily by demand in the markets served, (ii) the Partnership’s pipelines and terminals are geographically diversified of supply, and (iii) the pipelines deliver petroleum products to numerous delivery locations.
