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.
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 Project 233. The MMS Environmental Studies Program has funded a project with Louisiana State University to map pipeline locations in the coastal marsh areas of Louisiana.
