About PRCI

Mission: "Providing sustainable value to the pipeline industry by delivering research solutions that assure safe, environmentally sound, and cost-effective operations worldwide."

Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI) is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit corporation comprised of 32 energy pipeline companies. PRCI was established in 1952, as the Pipeline Research Committee, by 15 natural gas transmission pipeline companies to address the problem of long-running brittle fractures in natural gas transmission pipelines. In solving that problem within two years, the benefits of industry collaboration and the leveraging of voluntary industry funding. Although originally focused on technology development for the gas transmission pipeline industry across the research spectrum from basic to applied, over the years PRCI has increasingly focused on near-term integrity and reliability solutions to design and operating problems and realizing the opportunities that an industry-managed program generates. As the focus of the work has evolved and broadened so too has PRCI's membership with an increasing focus on oil and petroleum products pipelines. As a result, PRCI is now a critical resource for all pipelines.
