Pipeline Layers by County
Abandoned, liquid and gas pipeline routes as shapefiles.
What this is
Pipeline centrelines the Commission maps, split into abandoned, liquid and gas layers, county by county.

Map gathering and transmission infrastructure against production and processing.
- Mirrored so the file is here when the Commission's own link is not.
- Documented — what it is, where it came from, and when we last fetched it.
