Did you know2021
Before Brookfield's 2025 acquisition, approximately 40% of Colonial Pipeline was owned by two foreign sovereign pension funds: South Korea's National Pension Service (NPS, via its KKR partnership, 23.44%) and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ, Canada, 16.55%). The pipeline supplies 45% of fuel consumed on the US East Coast, directly feeds 7 major airports, and has supplied the Department of Defense since 1984. Foreign sovereign capital thus held controlling influence over critical American energy and military logistics infrastructure — a national security exposure that received almost no public scrutiny until the 2021 ransomware attack.

Colonial Pipeline carries approximately 45% of all fuel consumed on the US East Coast — 2.5 million barrels per day through 5,500 miles of pipeline across 13 states. It directly connects to 7 major airports (ATL, CLT, BNA, RDU, GSO, BWI, IAD) and has supplied the Department of Defense's Defense Fuel Supply Command since 1984. The May 2021 6-day ransomware shutdown triggered a national energy emergency, prompted fuel rationing at Marine Corps bases, and forced the Biden administration to consider tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve — exposing just how thin the East Coast fuel buffer is against a single-point infrastructure failure.

Colonial Pipeline was founded in 1962 with a $370M investment from nine major oil companies — including Mobil, BP, Texaco, Phillips, and Atlantic Richfield — in what was called the largest single privately-financed construction project in US history. Ownership gradually consolidated: BP and Marathon sold their stakes to Koch Industries in 2002, making Koch the 28% anchor. In August 2025, all five owners agreed to sell the entire company to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners for ~$9 billion (9x EBITDA), ending six decades of oil-company ownership and placing the US East Coast's primary fuel artery under a global infrastructure conglomerate that also owns ports, railroads, cell towers, and data centers.
