Oil pipeline capacity is measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day for projects categorized as 'In Development', including proposed and construction phases. The data originates from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, which was accessed in July 2021. The Country Climate and Development Report organization compiled this information.
Use Cases
- Analyze total 'barrels of oil equivalent per day' capacity added by projects in 'Construction' status.
- Compare regional pipeline capacity by filtering the interactive map on 'project status'.
- Forecast future oil supply routes by linking project-specific wiki pages for 'In Development' pipelines.
Strengths
- Data includes all global oil transmission pipelines exceeding a pre-determined size threshold.
- Provides both tabular data and an interactive map for geographic visualization of pipeline routes.
Limitations
- Data snapshot is from July 2021, creating a 3+ year gap from current date.
- Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable for review.
- Limited to pipelines over a certain size, excluding smaller infrastructure.
