Answer first
Pipelines sits at #40 of 63 SIC-2 industries by median CEO-to-worker pay ratio and #9 of 63 by median CEO pay - ratio rank is not dollar rank (3 FY2025 filers, median 91:1 / $12.3M).
Placement uses the same latest-fiscal-year-per-SIC medians as the Industries directory. Median-ratio rank #40 of 63 is not median-CEO-pay rank #9 of 63. Figures come from Section 953(b) Dodd-Frank DEF 14A disclosures - not estimates. Inside this SIC, Plains Gp Holdings LP currently leads the in-page company list at 91:1.

Higher-third median CEO pay
Pipelines in the thin-filer third
Pipelines median CEO pay $12.3M sits in the top third of SIC-2 industries (#9 of 63 by dollars). 3 FY2025 filers put Pipelines in the lightest third by raw volume; year-to-year swings are noisier, so pair counts with the median ratio above.
The 25th percentile CEO earned $12.3M while the 75th earned $12.3M - a spread that shows how firm size and equity packages differ inside one SIC. When the average (88:1) and median (91:1) stay close, pay practices look more uniform across the sector.
