About

The Global Oil Infrastructure Tracker (GOIT) is a resource for researchers, communities, activists, and students who would like to learn more about crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline infrastructure around the world. It serves as a surveillance system for planned and existing projects, enabling users to track locations, status, size, history, ownership, and industry trends.

GOIT’s June 2022 release is used for this map, as well as the accompanying files for project-level data and summary tables.

Filtering

The tracker organizes information in both a map and table format. Projects can be filtered in the following ways:

• Status Category: To select one or more status categories, click one or more checkboxes, such as “Operating” and/or “Proposed.”
• Facility Type: To select one or more types of facilities, click one or more checkboxes such as “Oil Pipelines.”
• Company: To find a particular company’s facilities, type the company’s name in the “Filter the map” box. For example, type Enbridge.
• Country: To find a particular country’s facilities, type the name of the country in the “Filter the map” box. For example, type India.
• Country Zoom: To zoom the map to a particular country, click directly on that country in the global map view.
