Landowner Relations

Liquids pipeline owners and operators are committed to treating landowners fairly, openly and with respect. Pipeline companies through the American Petroleum Institute and Association of Oil Pipe Lines have developed a program to train their employees and representatives interacting with the public to uphold these principles. This landowner training commitment and program reflects our desire to build positive, lasting relationships in the communities we operate.
