Proposed Oil Pipeline Capacity In Barrels Per Day

July 2021 data from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker details proposed oil pipeline capacity measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day. The dataset is generated by the Country Climate and Development Report organization from GFIT, which catalogs global fossil fuel infrastructure projects above a size threshold.

Use Cases

• Analyze total proposed pipeline capacity by country or region using the 'capacity' and geographic location fields.
• Compare the scale of proposed projects against existing infrastructure using the 'project status' and capacity metrics.
• Model potential carbon emissions from proposed pipelines by linking capacity data to emission factors.
• Assess investment risk in fossil fuel sectors by tracking the pipeline 'project status' over time.

Strengths

• Global coverage of oil and gas transmission pipelines exceeding a predefined size threshold.
• Data includes interactive geographic visualization of pipeline routes and terminal locations.
• Provides menu-based filtering options and links to detailed project wiki pages for further context.

Limitations

• Dataset snapshot is from July 2021, making it temporally stale for current analysis.
• Specific row count, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessing completeness.
• Limited to projects over a certain size, excluding smaller pipeline infrastructure.
