Pipeline Layers by County
Pipeline routes as shapefiles, one layer per county.
What this is:
Pipeline centrelines the Commission maps, one shapefile layer per county — pipe001l for Anderson, and so on. Liquid, gas and abandoned lines are not separate layers: they are all in the one layer, told apart by attributes. COMMODITY1 to COMMODITY3 and CMDTY_DESC carry what the line moves, STATUS_CD its status and SYSTYPE the system type, alongside the operator name and P-5 number, diameter and T-4 permit.
How it is laid out:
The Railroad Commission publishes this as ArcView shapefile. ArcView shapefile — several files that must be kept together. We mirror the Commission's file exactly as they published it, byte for byte. We have not decoded this one into a table yet, so reading it needs the right tooling.
What we add:
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.
Worth knowing before use:
These are the Commission's mapped routes, not an as-built survey, and abandoned lines are included — filter on STATUS_CD if you do not want them. Every RRC map layer is published in the Geographic coordinate system in decimal degrees on the NAD27 datum — EPSG:4267. That is not what web mapping expects.
