Global Oil Pipeline Construction Capacity Data

Oil pipeline capacity data measures planned and under-construction projects in barrels of oil equivalent per day. The dataset originates from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, an information resource maintained by the Global Energy Monitor. It was accessed in July 2021 for the Country Climate and Development Report.

Use Cases

• Analyze regional energy security by comparing planned pipeline capacity across different geographies.
• Model future carbon emissions by projecting the operational lifespan of new pipeline infrastructure.
• Assess investment risk by tracking the development stage of pipeline projects.
• Study the global fossil fuel supply chain by mapping pipeline routes and terminal connections.

Strengths

• Data includes all global oil and gas transmission pipelines exceeding a pre-determined size threshold.
• Provides interactive geospatial visualization of pipeline routes and terminal locations.

Limitations

• Data snapshot is from July 2021 and may not reflect recent project cancellations or completions.
• Specific column names, row counts, and exact geographic coverage are not provided in the input.
