§ 227 Pipeline Property Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •This law talks about pipelines that carry things like oil, but not water.
  • •Pipelines include the land, buildings, and equipment used to move these things.
  • •If something is used to help move oil or other liquids (except water) through pipes, this law covers it.

Example

A company builds pipes and storage tanks to move oil from one place to another.

This law says all those pipes, tanks, and the land they’re on are part of the pipeline. So, the rules for pipelines apply to all of it.
