The study requested by the Department of the Interior was to cover the petroleum and natural gas transportation capacities as of January 1, 1961, including natural gas transmission line, crude oil and petroleum products pipelines, inland waterways barges, tank cars, and tank trucks. In connection with the study of pipelines, data were also requested on exact locations of individual pump stations, compressor stations, and major river crossings. As to pump and compressor stations, information was wanted as to horsepower, type of prime mover, and degree of automation. It should be noted that this is the first time that a Council report on transportation has included natural gas transmission lines. (auth)
