Join us for a special PODScast featuring Blaine Keener, Director of PHMSA’s OPS Operations Systems Division, for a practical walkthrough of PHMSA’s Pipeline Data and Statistics webpages—what’s there, how to use it, and why it matters for the PODS community.
This session will provide a clear, comprehensive overview of the data and reports available for all pipeline system types, including:
- Gas distribution
- Gas gathering
- Gas transmission
- Hazardous liquids
- LNG
- Underground storage
These webpages include source data, performance measures, and data visualizations that support safety, integrity, and regulatory alignment.
In recent years, there has been increased focus on how federal agencies manage, share, and present data—especially in the context of public safety, regulatory transparency, and modernizing data systems and workflows to better support both internal decision-makers and the public.
When Blaine recently presented this material at the PHMSA Data Meeting in Houston, most attendees were not aware of the full range of datasets and reports available within the Pipeline Data and Statistics webpages. For the PODS community, being familiar with these resources is a clear advantage: PHMSA’s current datasets can be accessed and leveraged to support optimized operations, digital twin initiatives, and pipeline safety programs.
Key Highlights
In this PODScast, we’ll explore:
- Source data directly downloadable from PHMSA’s Pipeline Data and Statistics webpages
- Multi-year trends and performance measures across different pipeline system types
- How PHMSA’s public data can support risk, integrity, and safety analyses
- Where these datasets fit into digital twin efforts and modern data ecosystems
