Energy Transfer LP’s Sunoco Pipeline LP unit, the operator of a Pennsylvania pipeline that regulators say leaked jet fuel for more than 16 months, spilled more refined fuels than any other operator in 2024, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The unit leaked about 1,400 barrels of refined fuel products from pipelines across the country last year, according to Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration figures analyzed by Bloomberg. That’s more than twice the amount spilled by any other operator. Pipelines operated by Energy Transfer Co. also leaked about 213 barrels.
