Parfomak, Specialist in Energy and Infrastructure Policy (pparfmakkcr 1 gov, 7-0030) Background Recent growth of domestic crude oil production has resulted in an unprecedented expansion of the United States' oil pipeline network. Although pipelines may provide various economic benefits, and are a comparatively safe means of hydrocarbon transportation, constructing and operating pipelines may pose risks to the environment, property, and public safety. Consequently, Congress has an ongoing interest in pipeline infrastructure and the regulation of pipeline siting. One of the largest domestic oil pipelines currently in development is the Dakota Acces Pipline, a 30-inch diameter, 1,172-mile project that would carry crude oil produced in northwest North Dakota to southern Illinois (Figure 1). The Dakota Access Pipeline is projected to carry 470,000 barrels per day, although its capacity could reach 570,000 barrels per day. Figure 1. Dakota Access Pipeline Route
