User:Hiausirg/Texas Pipeline Import
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=<nowiki/>* |
| sys_nm/subsys_nm | Name, needs to be reviewed individually everytime | name=<nowiki/>* |
| pline_id | reference for the segment, needs to be reviewed | ref=<nowiki/>* |
| diameter | diameter of the pipe | diameter=<nowiki/>* |
| 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.
Data Transformation Results
Example for San Augustine County: https://anonfiles.com/i3tcw4xcz1/san_augustine_osm
Conflation
Existing pipelines will be deleted & replaced.
