Texas Pipeline Import is an import of an Texas Railroad Commission dataset which contains pipelines in the State of Texas. The import is currently at the planning stage.

Import Data

Background

Data source site: https://www.rrc.texas.gov/resource-center/research/data-sets-available-for-download/
Data license: Explicit permission[1]

Import Type

One-time upload per county.

Data Preparation

Tagging Plans

Original Description OSM tag
status_cd=I Active pipeline man_made=pipeline
status_cd=B Abandoned pipeline abandoned:man_made=pipeline
oper_nm Operator operator=*
sys_nm/subsys_nm Name, needs to be reviewed individually everytime name=*
pline_id reference for the segment, needs to be reviewed ref=*
diameter diameter of the pipe diameter=*
systype=C Ammonia pipeline substance=ammonia,usage=transmission
systype=G Gas gathering pipeline substance=gas,usage=gathering
systype=K Carbon dioxide pipeline substance=carbon_dioxide,usage=transmission
systype=L Crude pipeline substance=oil,usage=transmission
systype=P Refined product pipeline, usually "fuel" but needs research substance=fuel,usage=transmission
systype=Q Highly volatile liquid pipeline, substance needs research usage=transmission
systype=T Gas pipeline substance=gas,usage=transmission

The data will be simplified at 1m accuracy to remove excessive nodes. Often, ways with the same tags are split into many (10s, rarely even 100s) sections. Those have to be merged. Everything is capitalized, so this has to be manually put into proper capitalisazion. Many crossing lines share a single node at the intersection, even if they don't actually connect. Addidionally, well pads, petroleum well points, access roads, pipeline substations (pigging, compression, pumping, valves etc.) will be mapped/drawn manually. Basically, every way needs to be reviewed individually.

Furter, all other oil & gas facilities (refineries, tank farms, petroleum terminals, petroleum ports, gas plants, support activities etc.) are going to be mapped. However, this isn't part of this import.

Conflation

Existing pipelines will be deleted & replaced.
