Talk:Oil and Gas Infrastructure
Hello Mike, nice Work! You should publish it more prominent in the Wiki. May be you can add some photos explaining the words? and add the things around power plants (often combined with oil and gas harbours). Thanks, -- Markus 07:39, 26 May 2011 (BST)
DE: Vorschlag
Der Vorschlag sollte schnellsten umgesetzt werden. Es gibt mittlerweile schon in Deutschland allein viele Erdgasstationen und Tankstellen. Vorschlag: (Google-Translator - EN:The proposal should be implemented rapidly. Meanwhile, there are already many gas stations in Germany alone, and gas stations. proposal:)

oder http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tankstelle
Nachtrag aus Forumsmeinungen (17.06.2011):
- pumping_station ist eine Pumpstation, wie sie zur Druckerhöhung alle xx km in Piplines notwendig ist.
Eine Förderstation wird mit *_well bezeichnet (petroleum_well, water_well)
- pipeline + location=overground/underground/underwater + type=gas (besser material=gas)
- statt tank besser storage_tank + content=*

Gas Pipelines in United Kingdom
UK gas pipelines (on the high pressure system) are available online as shapefiles - no statement of copyright though so off bounds for OpenStreetMap at the moment. The attributes are:
- Pipeline reference (e.g. "Feeder 7")
- Section reference (e.g. 983108)
- Section name (e.g. "FM02 - Bacton to Brisley")
- Owner
- Diameter
- Maximum Operating Pressure (in bar)
- Steel grade (e.g. X60, X52)
- Wall thickness (in mm)
- Year commissioned.
The diameters are in mm but it's my understanding that we are still building in inches in the UK. I can check that if you'd like.
Above ground installations (AGIs) can comprise one or more of: Block Valve, Multi Junction, Compressor Station, LNG storage, Minimum Offtake, Offtake, Distribution Offtake, Pig Trap, Entry Terminal. --RobJN (talk) 21:48, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Unfinished O&G infrastructure tagging proposal
With apologies, this proposal is too much work for me, at least for the foreseeable future. If anyone else wants to do something with it you are welcome too.--Martin2014 (talk) 12:06, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Licence blocks
Licence blocks dictate who is allowed to drill where, when. In quite a few cases the data is made available in the public domain at a country level, so could be relatively easy to include in OSM.

man_made=petroleum_well conflicts with man_made=pumping_rig, which is already approved. IMHO man_made=pumping_rig always implies "oil". Presumably man_made=petroleum_well and man_made=pumping_rig are intended to be used mutually exclusive?
- This whole tagging proposal is a result of me being a bit overwhelmed by the number of conflicting O&G tags in use, and trying to streamline and rationalise it all, as well as trying to make it comprehensive.
- My thought on the man_made=petroleum_well, man_made=pumping_rig conflict is that pumping rig only describes the apparatus on the surface / method of extraction rather than the existence of the oil well itself, which is what is primarily being mapped:
- Pumping rigs don't exist without oil wells, but oil wells do exist without pumping rigs.
- Therefore pumping rig should have a "second tag" status to the well itself, which in the above suggestion would be man_made=petroleum_well, petroleum_well=oil, method=pumpjack. I'd be proposing that this three tag combination should replace man_made=pumping_rig If this proposal were ever to be finished.
- Im aware that the list of values for the method=* key above needs more research and work. "method" was the best word I could think of that might be able to encompass everything, rather than something like "apparatus".
- Incidently, thanks for helping with the pipeline type values list, that was cool of you. I'm going to get back to it. --Martin2014 (talk) 16:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Wellsites
"man_made=petroleum_well" should be tagged to the well or apparatus directly over the well. On land the area surrounding the well is known as the "well pad", "well site", or "wellsite" in OSM. (Offshore platforms do not count as wellsites. For offshore platforms please use the "location=offshore", "platform_type=*" scheme above)
Wellsites should be drawn as a polygon and tagged like this:
| Geometry | Key | Value | Description | Usage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
industrial | wellsite | "This is an oil & gas industry well site." | Mandatory | Though it has so far only been used over a small geographic area in Colorado, this tag is the most popular tag for O&G well sites, with about 1000 uses. |
| landuse | industrial | This is the appropriate landuse=* tag for O&G well sites. | Mandatory | ||
| field_name | <name> eg:tengiz | This identifies which field this wellsite belongs to. | Optional |
Produced water resevoirs
This tag combination is based on the existing landuse=resevoir tagging scheme because the alternate scheme based around natural=water sounds misleading in this instance - produced water is viewed as an industrial waste product rather than something natural.
Roads on oil and gas fields
This is the suggested tag combination for roads that connect the well sites and complexes on oil & gas fields.

Crude Oil Refineries and Natural Gas Processing plants
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refinery
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_refinery
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-gas_processing
The industrial=refinery tag has already been used to map the refineries in Europe. For natural gas processing plants the additional tag product=gas has been used
- industrial=refinery "this is a refinery"
- refinery=oil "this is a crude oil refinery"
- refinery=gas "this is a natural gas processing plant"
- capacity=*
- name=* The name of the refinery
- operator=* The name of the company operating the refinery.
- landuse=industrial This is the appropriate landuse=* tag for refineries.
- Refineries contain a assortment of distinct units. They can be labelled like this:
- industrial:refinery=feed_heater
- industrial:refinery=heat_exchanger
- industrial:refinery=fractionating_column
- industrial:refinery=reactor_vessel
- industrial:refinery=crude_unit
- industrial:refinery=catalytic_cracking_unit
- industrial:refinery=hydrocracking_unit
- industrial:refinery=gas_unit
- industrial:refinery=coking_unit
- industrial:refinery=sulphur_recovery_unit
- man_made=flare
Production facilities, Terminals, Depots
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_depot
- http://www.petro-techna.com/PTIL_refinery_FS.swf
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_Production_Storage_and_Offloading
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_liquefaction_plant
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_regasification
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_pier
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_carrier
A "terminal" is where a product gets transported to, stored, sometimes processed or changed in some way, then transported from, sometimes in a different mode of transport.
So, for example, an LNG liquefaction terminal could be tagged like this
- product:in=gas
- product:out=lng
- transport:in=pipeline
- transport:out=tanker
- landuse=industrial
- name=*
- operator=*
- capacity=*
Storage
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_storage_tank
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_storage
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_depot
- Floating Storage and Offloading vessel (FSO)
- Storage tanks that are painted black are designed to absorb solar energy and stay warm. They contain the more viscous petroleum products, such as heavy fuel oil, which only flow properly when they are warm.
- Storage tanks that are painted white are designed to reflect solar energy and stay cool. They contain petroleum products with volatile constituents.
- "Floating roof tanks" are circular and have a roof that floats on the surface of the liquid, eliminating the cavity that exists in a conventional tank. They contain liquids such as crude oil and gasoline which have volatile constituents that would evaporate if there was a cavity.
Tanker routes
Ferry routes are currently being marked in OpenSeaMap as seamark:ferry_route:category=*. So, it seems feasible that tanker routes (and maybe 'dry' cargo shipping routes too) could also be marked.
- seamark:type=tanker_route
- seamark:tanker_route:category=* LNG | oil
O&G Rail routes
This is a additional tag on top of the current usage key.
- railway=*
- usage=industrial
- usage:industrial=* < oil | fuel | hydrocarbons | coal | bauxite | etc >
General O&G tags
If you spot something, such as an industrial complex, which you suspect to be part of the oil and gas industry, but don't know more than that, use the tag:
- industrial=hydrocarbons "I think this is object/area is part of the O&G infrastructure"
- note=* state your reasoning
And if you know whether it is either oil or gas related, use:
- industrial=* <oil | gas>
- note=*
These tags can act as "holding tags", and will flag the area for the attention of someone with more specialist knowledge.
Environmental & humanitarian issues
- volume:bbl=* <numerical_value>
- location=* <onshore | offshore | subsea>
- operator=* Name of the company or companies resposible
- oil_spill:type=* <tanker | blowout | pipeline>
- date=YYYY-MM-DD
- duration:days=* <numerical_value> (if applicable)
- description=*
- source=*
- population=* <numerical_value>
- name=* Name of the settlement
- operator=* Name of the company or companies responsible
- project=* Name of the project
- date=YYYY-MM
- description=*
- source=*
Text from the WikiProject Oil and Gas Infrastructure page from 2011
Background
The location of oil and gas infrastructure is something that becomes periodically of great topical interest for journalists and the general public. As of writing, there is little tagged within the OSM database, and what there is is difficult to find. For example, a major refinery may be tagged only as man_made=works.
This is a research and experimental project to systematically tag such facilities in a way that can easily be found by search engines such as Nominatim and for making specialist maps. I am trying to use existing tagging scheme where possible. Except where noted, tags are suggestions only and discussion is welcome. MikeCollinson 09:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Proposed tagging
Oil and gas pipelines
For the pipeline itself, a good tagging scheme exists, man_made=pipeline
For subsea pipelines, see seamark:type=pipeline_submarine
Oil and gas tank farms
Used to store oil or gas and usually located at a transhipment centre such as a ship harbour or railway. man_made=storage_tank
Oil and gas tanker ship facilities
See Harbour tagging for an excellent schema for tagging harbours. For O&G purposes, it lacks a method to differentiate between oil and LNG tanker loading. Suggestion:
Oil refineries
Existing:
landuse=industrial man_made=works
Suggested:
landuse=industrial industrial=oil industrial=gas

Page quality
There seems to be some questionable content on the page, for example, "man_made=fuel_deport" and "man_made=fuel storage_tanks". It seems to be mostly abandoned since the initial creation in 2014, with user Mentor doing some cleanup lately. Overall, it seems like a harsh culling might be in order :) --Richlv (talk) 11:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
