In 1976, U.S. and Canadian pipeline contractors built 8,665.78 miles of pipelines, with a focus on natural gas lines. The U.S. constructed 6,224 miles, mostly for natural gas, while Canada built 1,921 miles, mainly for gas lines. Foreign pipeline work saw a significant increase, with 23,696.3 miles laid in 1976, compared to 17,804 in 1975. Natural gas lines made up over 44% of the foreign installations. The data is detailed by company and pipe diameter for natural gas, products, and crude oil pipelines.
