The Oil and Gas Pipelines Database contains known spatial locations of onshore and offshore pipelines or pipeline corridors used to transport natural gas, oil and other liquids within Australias mainland and territorial waters. Onshore pipelines are represented as polylines for Qld, NSW, Vic, Tas, and SA, and polygons/corridors for WA and NT. Offshore pipelines are represented as polylines for WA, NT and Vic. Pipeline data has been provided by Petrosys GPinfo as of 24 August 2022. More information available at www.gpinfo.com.au. No effort was made to revise, value add and/or spatially improve the datasets.
For the purposes of this dataset a Pipeline is defined as: A linked series of pipes, with pumps and valves, used for the conveyance of gas, oil and liquids.
For the purposes of this dataset a Corridor is defined as: A passage of land in which a pipeline and the facilities of a pipeline operator have the potential to transverse, including rights-of-way and easements over and through public or private property

Data downloaded 3/4/2024. This data replaced the National Oil and Gas Infrastructure web services (89931) with the removal of the oil and gas platforms data layer. This work was supported by National Environmental Science Program Marine and Coastal Hub Project 4.20 (NESP MaC 4.20).

Purpose
This data and sets of maps was generate as inputs to the Futures of Seafood study State of Play (Work Package 1).Futures of Seafood delivers Australia's first comprehensive analysis of how intensifying ocean demands will reshape seafood production. This landmark 18-month study examines the cumulative impacts of competing ocean uses and policy decisions on the seafood sector. By uniting industry expertise with research capabilities, it creates a single source of truth about challenges and opportunities facing Australian seafood. Through spatial mapping, economic modeling, and social impact assessment, it provides decision-makers with essential insights for managing multiple ocean industries and ensures sustainable seafood production amid changing ocean access.
