Previously, data were extracted from FERC Form No. 6, whichincluded data for federally-regulated pipelines. For 2005, data for federally regulated Pipelines were estimated to include about 90 percent of thetotal national ton-miles, so the Pipeline statistics for that year were adjusted to include an additional 10 percent of ton-miles. From 1990 through2004, the federally regulated estimate was 84 percent with a 16 percent addition for other Pipeline ton-miles.bThe large increase in Water carrier Ton-miles between 1975 and 1980 reflects the entrance of the Alaska pipeline, moving crude petroleum forwater transportation to U.S. refineries.cThe amount carried by Motor carriers is estimated.NOTEDetails may not add to totals due to rounding in the source publication.SOURCES1975: Association of Oil Pipe Lines, Shifts in Petroleum Transportation (Washington, DC), table 6.1980-85: Ibid., (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), tables 1, 2, and 3.1990-2009: Ibid., (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), tables 1, 2, and 3, available at http://www.aopl.org/publications/?fa=reports as of Mar. 23, 2011.
