New EIA Data Series Track Shipments Of Hydrocarbon Gas Liquids By Rail

EIA recently released data on rail movements of propane, propylene, normal butane, and isobutane. These four petroleum products make up the majority of hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGLs) moved by rail. The new series are integrated with EIA's existing Petroleum Supply Monthly statistics, which already include movements of crude oil and select products by pipeline, tanker, and barge. The new HGL-by-rail series includes shipments between and within Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs) as well as shipments to and from Canada. The new data improve EIA's petroleum statistics by providing more accurate products supplied information for each region.
