Oil pipeline capacity data, measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day, is sourced from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker. The tracker catalogs global oil and gas transmission pipelines exceeding a pre-determined size threshold and was accessed in July 2021. This specific dataset focuses on projects with a 'Cancelled' status.
Use Cases
- Analyze total cancelled pipeline capacity by region using the 'geography' field.
- Track trends in project cancellations over time using the 'last updated' or project status date fields.
- Compare planned versus cancelled capacity for specific pipeline routes or operators.
Strengths
- Data is derived from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, a specialized resource for fossil fuel projects.
- Includes a global scope of oil and gas transmission pipelines over a size threshold.
- Provides capacity measurements in a standardized unit (barrels of oil equivalent per day).
Limitations
- The exact number of rows and total data size are unknown.
- Data currency is limited, with a snapshot from July 2021.
- Specific column names and data structure are not provided.
