Pipeline Timeline (19 th Century) 1859: Colonel Edwin Drake Strikes Oil in Titusville, Pennsylvania 1863: The Teamsters- Oil initially transported by horse to rail terminals by Teamsters using whiskey barrels, giving the Teamsters a local spatial monopoly on delivery. The price to move a barrel of oil 5 miles by horse was greater than the charge to move from Pennsylvania to New York City. 1865: the first wooden oil pipeline built, about 9 miles long bypassing the teamsters. 1870: Standard Oil Company formed by John D. Rockefeller, largely produces kerosene for lighting and oil for heating 1879: Tidewater - The First Crude Oil Trunkline (built by competitors to Standard Oil, soon acquired by Standard Oil interests, extended to Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cleveland, New York) 1880s: The Rise of Russian (now Azerbaijani) Oil - Marcus Samuel developed the first organized kerosene shipping enterprise to compete with Rockefeller and send kerosene to Europe and the Far East : Oil discovered in Ohio, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Spindletop, Texas
Pipeline Timeline (20 th Century) 1905: Crude Oil Pipelines built from the fields in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas to Eastern refineries. 1908: Henry Ford develops Automobile assembly line, gasoline becomes primary customer of oil, electricity continues to replace kerosene oil lamps. 1912: Sherman Anti-trust act finalized and Standard Oil dissolved. 1913: the Valuation Act was the first attempt at Federal involvement in US pipeline ratemaking. 1917: Crude Oil Pipelines 1920s: Pipeline Mileage Triples 1935: The first product pipelines where built from Whiting, St. Louis and Kansas City to the west. 1945: Product Lines Grow During World War II (oil tankers were sunk frequently, pipelines seen as more reliable). 1944: pipeline regulation became the responsibility of the US Interstate Commerce Commission who introduced the notion of reasonable returns in the 8 percent to 10 percent range. 1954: Stanolind, the Indiana Standard pipeline company, became the largest liquid pipeline carrier in North America. A position it held until the most recent Enbridge expansion. 1968: import refineries on the US Gulf Coast led to the construction of Colonial pipeline to supply the eastern seaboard. Colonial was the largest privately financed undertaking in US history in : The Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS)
