Oil and Gas Pipelines of Australia 2004, Converted from Microstation Maps

Australian oil and gas pipeline infrastructure data converted from a 2004 Microstation map titled 'Petroleum Exploration and Development Titles'. The dataset includes added attributes for data standards and incorporates information for specific Acreage Release Areas. This metadata was prepared for the North West Atlas by the Australian Ocean Data Network, but it is not the authoritative version.

Use Cases

• Mapping pipeline networks for infrastructure planning based on the line work and annotation from the source map.
• Analyzing spatial relationships between pipelines and specific Acreage Release Areas mentioned in the description.
• Conducting environmental or risk assessments for energy projects using the geospatial pipeline data.

Strengths

• Data includes attributes added to comply with data standards, suggesting some level of structure.
• Contains information for specific Acreage Release Areas, adding targeted detail.

Limitations

• Metadata explicitly states it is not authoritative; the custodian should be contacted for the latest version.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
