A midstream partnership whose filing counts 8,000 affiliate personnel on its business and nothing by segment, so the pipeline subsector leads by description with petrochemical plants and terminals beside it.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 21% now, 31% at the end of 2027, 36% at the end of 2028, 38% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 38% desk work, 11% people work and 51% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 59% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 33% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Limits of this reading
- The people counted are EPCO personnel working on the partnership's business, not its own employees; recorded as the filing states it (rule 8).
- The U.S. share is recorded as 1 because the filing describes only U.S. assets; it states no count by country.
- No count by segment: the split among pipelines, petrochemical plants and terminals is by description (c); the data service's segment table is not usable.
