Australian Oil and Gas Infrastructure Spatial Collection

Earth Resources Spatial Data Collection provides geospatial data on oil and gas infrastructure in Australia. It includes facilities, pipelines, fields, and Petroleum Act Graticule boundaries. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action maintains this collection, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping oil and/or gas pipeline routes and facility locations for network analysis and risk assessment.
• Analyzing the spatial distribution of oil and/or gas fields relative to the Petroleum Act Graticule for regulatory compliance.
• Integrating facility, pipeline, and field vector data with other geospatial layers for regional energy planning.
• Visualizing the extent of petroleum tenements defined by the Petroleum Act Graticule for land management purposes.

Strengths

• Includes multiple critical infrastructure types: facilities, pipelines, fields, and regulatory boundaries.
• Data is provided in 7 industry-standard geospatial file formats (TAB, SHP, MIF, DWG, GDB, DXF, EXTENDED TAB).
• Maintained by a national government department (Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action).
• Dataset has a future update timestamp (April 2026), indicating planned maintenance.

Limitations

• No sample data, column names, row counts, or dataset size information is available for preview.
• The specific geographic coverage within Australia (e.g., state-level or national) is not detailed.
• Data collection methodology and temporal coverage (e.g., year of data capture) are unspecified.
