MAPSearch announces major updates to NA pipeline mapping database

HOUSTON, USA: Energy infrastructure data provider, MAPSearch, announced that in the past 12 months, they have added or adjusted nearly 100,000 miles of crude oil, natural gas, refined products and other commodity pipelines in their dataset. This represents approximately 10 percent of their 1 million mile pipeline database.

The additions and updates range from proposed and new construction to spatial adjustments of existing pipelines. Additionally, merger, acquisition, and divestiture activity combined with new project activity resulted in thousands of other updates over the past year. The MAPSearch team focused much of their effort on accurately reflecting new midstream and pipeline infrastructure development in several of the popular unconventional resource plays, including the Eagle Ford Shale, Bakken Shale and Marcellus and Utica Shale formations.

The recent mapping updates also included spatial and attribute changes to thousands of connected facilities, including: rail terminals, gas processing plants, refineries, distribution and receiving terminals, pump and compressor stations, and more.
