Oil Pipeline Tariff Monitor Online Databases

Do you need information from oil pipeline tariffs? It can take hours to locate, collect, and update copies of current tariffs and to extract information (such as rates) from them. With our Databases, we do the hard work for you, so you can do these tasks in minutes. The OPTM Online Databases include:

Rates and Routes Search allows you to find pipeline tariff rate information from any currently effective published tariff (including FERC, intrastate regulated, non-jurisdictional, Canadian NEB, Canadian provincial, and Canadian non-jurisdictional). Enter criteria, such as origin, destination, or pipeline name, and Rates and Routes Search will return all currently effective rates, including additional charges or fees (e.g., storage) and other important tariff conditions (e.g., line fill, loss allowance). Our origin/destination data also identifies refinery and airport locations. View the search results directly, or download to your desktop for additional analysis. Rates and Routes data is also available as a data feed or web service (direct application-to-application download).

Tariff Search includes detailed information on oil pipeline tariffs, including meta data on more than 41,000 tariffs, and complete copies of 34,000 tariffs. You can find a complete copy of a specific oil pipeline tariff in seconds. You can also search the text of all currently effective FERC tariffs.

Filing Search makes it easy to locate Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) oil pipeline tariff filings and includes searchable filing summaries as well as searchable meta data. We have more than 35 years of data on FERC oil pipeline tariff filings, making our database a rich source for research on oil pipeline history. Even if you can't find a filing using FERC's eLibrary site, you can find it using OPTM Filing Search.

No other research service or online database can provide access to such complete information through a single portal.
