Gas Pipelines

﻿ Abstract The Oil and Gas Pipelines Database contains known spatial locations of onshore and offshore pipelines or pipeline corridors used to transport natural gas, oil and other liquids within Australia’s mainland and territorial waters. Onshore pipelines are represented as polylines for Qld, NSW, Vic, Tas, and SA, and polygons/corridors for WA and NT. Offshore pipelines are represented as polylines for WA, NT and Vic. Pipeline data has been provided by Petrosys GPinfo as of 24 August 2022. More information available at [www.gpinfo.com.au]. No effort was made to revise, value add and/or spatially improve the datasets. For the purposes of this dataset a Pipeline is defined as: A linked series of pipes, with pumps and valves, used for the conveyance of gas, oil and liquids. For the purposes of this dataset a Corridor is defined as: A passage of land in which a pipeline and the facilities of a pipeline operator have the potential to transverse, including rights-of-way and easements over and through public or private property. Currency Date modified: 12 December 2022 Modification frequency: As needed The next revision of this database will be determined by Geoscience Australia’s work program. This timeframe will range between 3 and 5 years; this is also dependent upon available resources and other priorities. Data extent Spatial extent North: -9° South: -44° East: 154° West: 112° Temporal extent From 1 January 1970 to Present Source information The primary sources of information/data used to construct and validate entries within the Version 3 database were: Direct data download was captured on the 24 of August 2022 under the licencing agreement between Geoscience Australia (GA) and Petrosys GPinfo Catalog entry: [Oil and Gas Pipelines] Lineage statement Using pipeline datasets acquired from the States, Territories and NOPTA, the data was uploaded into an ArcSDE environment using Feature Manipulation Engine (FME). The process included the extraction of the themed (gas pipeline and oil pipeline) features, and the translation of the data into a schema created by, National Location Information Branch, Geoscience Australia (GA).
