Petroleum pipeline locations for active and decommissioned submarine infrastructure in Australian waters. The dataset was delivered by NOPTA to CSIRO and is made publicly available by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub. It was last updated on 2026-04-28.
Use Cases
- Marine spatial planning based on pipeline location data
- Environmental risk assessment for offshore infrastructure based on pipeline status (active/decommissioned)
- Energy infrastructure mapping and analysis based on geographic coverage in Australian waters
Strengths
- Includes both active and decommissioned pipeline statuses
- Covers Australian territorial waters
- Data provenance is documented, sourced from NOPTA to CSIRO
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Available file formats (PNG, HTML) suggest the primary data may be visual or summary reports rather than raw coordinates
