Energy: transportation fuels: supply: reportable pipelines.
- Requires pipeline operators to submit monthly reports on crude oil delivery volumes to California refineries.
- Establishes new reporting requirements for pipeline capacity and operational data starting March 2027.
- Mandates the state energy commission to identify qualifying pipelines by December 2026.
- Extends confidentiality protections to pipeline operational data submitted under these requirements.
A measure from Senator Richardson would expand California's energy data reporting requirements to include detailed operational information from crude oil pipelines serving state refineries. Under the legislation, pipeline operators would submit monthly reports to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission detailing their operational volumes, delivery data, and capacity metrics.
The bill directs the Commission to work with industry stakeholders through 2026 to identify which pipelines qualify for these new reporting mandates. Qualifying pipelines include those whose closure would significantly reduce crude oil deliveries to California refineries, with the Commission tasked with defining the threshold for "significant reduction."
Starting March 2027, operators of designated pipelines must report six key metrics monthly: minimum and maximum safe operating volumes over 24 hours, daily crude oil delivery volumes, hours of operation, and both nameplate and available capacity figures. The legislation extends existing civil penalties and court enforcement mechanisms to these new reporting requirements while preserving confidentiality protections for sensitive business information.
The measure integrates these additional reporting obligations into the state's current framework for collecting and protecting energy industry data, maintaining established procedures for enforcement and information security. The Commission retains authority to modify reporting parameters and timelines as needed while working with stakeholders to implement the expanded requirements.
