Refiners and petrochemical manufacturers rely on an extensive supply chain to move feedstocks and finished products in and out of their facilities. This supply chain — made up of a complex system of pipelines, ports, highways, railroads and storage facilities — is referred to as the midstream infrastructure that keeps America moving and our economy growing.

AFPM members invest billions in the midstream sector to build, expand, and modernize the energy infrastructure needed to safely and efficiently move and store America's energy resources. Regulatory certainty, streamlined permitting processes and continued investment are vital to strengthen the supply chains that ensure U.S. consumers have access to ample and affordable supplies of transportation fuels and other necessary products.
