Global oil pipeline capacity data, measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day, is provided for projects with an 'Operating' status. The dataset originates from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker (GFIT), an information resource on fossil fuel infrastructure projects. GFIT was accessed in July 2021 to generate this data.
Use Cases
- Analyze regional distribution of operational oil pipeline capacity using geospatial project locations.
- Benchmark total global operational pipeline throughput using the barrels of oil equivalent per day metric.
- Filter and study infrastructure projects by their 'Operating' status to assess active transport networks.
Strengths
- Data sourced from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, a specialized resource for fossil fuel projects.
- Includes a global scope, covering all oil and gas transmission pipelines over a pre-determined size threshold.
Limitations
- Data snapshot is from July 2021, making it over two years old at time of description.
- Specific column names, row counts, and data granularity are unknown.
