Most U.S. refineries are situated near sources of crude supply, with concentration in the Gulf Coast region. This region's refineries produce a greater volume of petroleum products than they consume, and the excess is delivered via a network of pipelines, tankers, and barges to other regions. These inter-regional transfers are a critical element in the U.S. petroleum system, enabling each region's demand to be met efficiently and economically by either local refineries, product receipts from another region, or foreign imports. In the report, patterns of petroleum product distribution, as well as historical trends and capacities of various transfer modes, are tabulated.
