Project Number 248
Date of Summary February 3, 2005
Subject Programming, Digitizing, and Data Entry of Pipelines for the Gulf of Mexico, OCS and Louisiana State Waters
Performing Activity NOLA Computer Services
Principal Investigator Stanley C. Jordan
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Completion Completed
Description This was a Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this project was to digitize/enter pipeline location information in the Federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The data will be used in-house by MMS staff to create AutoCAD/Arcinfo based maps of pipeline system locations through out the entire Gulf of Mexico.
Progress The last pipeline segments available from the Gulf of Mexico have been digitized and submitted to the Regional Office staff. This data is continuously updated. Pipeline and platform locations in the State of Louisiana coastal waters were digitized through a separate cooperative agreement with the appropriate State of Louisiana agency. Information about the State Waters effort can be found at http://www.mms.gov/tarprojects/233.htm. The MMS Environmental Studies Program has funded a project with Louisiana State University to map pipeline locations in the coastal marsh areas of Louisiana.

Reports

AA There will not be any written reports from this project, all the data has been submitted in digital form in the specified format and incorporated into the Regional mapping database. However, the pipeline location information is available for all segments where "as built" information was available in an ASCII file. The file may be ordered through the Gulf of Mexico Regional Office home page at http://www.gomr.mms.gov.
