Which code does this activity belong in?
Pipeline transportation of natural gas differs from crude oil pipeline transportation in that it covers establishments moving natural gas from processing plants to local distribution systems, including associated storage operations. The boundary separates natural gas pipelines from other pipeline transportation serving different products; establishments transporting refined petroleum products, chemicals, or other commodities by pipeline are classified elsewhere in other pipeline transportation.
