PHMSA · Pipeline Operators
Pipeline Operator Lookup
Every regulated gas and hazardous-liquid pipeline in the country runs under an operator on file with PHMSA — and the record moves when an operator files, expands, or reports an incident. This is that operator roster by name.

The signal
What a pipeline operator tells you
Every operator of a regulated gas or hazardous-liquid pipeline files with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and gets an operator ID (OPID). That roster is a matter of record, so the pipeline-operator universe — the target market for a whole tier of energy services — is searchable by name.
This tool searches the PHMSA operator roster by name and shows the operator, the OPID, the commodity carried, and the headquarters city and state. Behind the unlock you get the ownership type, the full HQ address, and the latest report year. The same operator keys to PHMSA's reported-incident record — the remediation and claims trigger.
Two events drive the value. A new operator on the roster is a company that just entered pipeline operation — a fresh account for integrity, environmental, and insurance services. A reported incident is a dated event that opens remediation, integrity-management, and claims work around a specific operator and location.
Why it matters
The operator roster is a compact, high-value target market: pipeline-integrity, environmental, and insurance vendors sell into a defined set of operators, and a new operator or a reported incident is the timed opening to reach one.
Field guide
How to read the results
Every field below is returned free, in full — no email, no gate. Build a Parse when you want the whole list for a specialty or state, exports, or a live alert the moment a prescriber goes new-to-class.
- Operator
- The company that operates the pipeline system as filed with PHMSA — the account name for anyone selling into the sector.
- OPID
- The PHMSA operator ID, unique per operator. It's the key that ties the operator to its systems, mileage, and incident history.
- Commodity
- What the pipeline carries — natural gas, crude, refined products, or another hazardous liquid. It shapes the operator's risk profile and service needs.
- HQ city / State
- Where the operator is headquartered. Energy-service territories are regional, so location drives coverage and account planning.
- Ownership type
- Investor-owned, privately owned, municipal, or cooperative — the read on how the operator buys and who the decision-makers are.
- Latest report year
- The most recent year the operator appears in the annual filing — confirmation the operator is currently active on the record.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a pipeline operator lookup?
It's a search of PHMSA's roster of regulated gas and hazardous-liquid pipeline operators by name. Every operator files with PHMSA and gets an operator ID (OPID); this tool finds the operator, its OPID, and its headquarters from a name search.
What is an OPID?
An OPID is the operator ID PHMSA assigns to each regulated pipeline operator. It's unique per operator and ties the company to its pipeline systems, mileage, and reported-incident history.
Is the pipeline operator search free?
Yes. Search any operator by name with no login and see the OPID, commodity, HQ city, and state. The ownership type, full HQ address, and latest report year are shown free — no email or login.
Can I see a pipeline operator's incidents?
The same operator keys to PHMSA's reported-incident record — the date, location, commodity released, cause, and cost of each reported incident. An incident is reported exactly as recorded, never a safety judgment.
How current is the operator roster?
It reads the PHMSA operator roster that ParseData refreshes, so a new operator or an updated filing appears after PHMSA posts it.
How it's sourced
Reads the PHMSA pipeline-operator roster and reported-incident record. Operator identity and incident fields only, reported exactly as recorded — never a safety judgment about any operator.
