Decommissioning

Decommissioning

A pipeline that has been replaced is typically decommissioned* — safely and permanently removed from service — and left in place to minimize disruptions to the environment, our neighbors, and existing pipelines. This is the safest and least disruptive option. 

All ExxonMobil Pipeline Company pipelines and facilities, whether active or inactive, are maintained in compliance with all local, state and federal regulations.
