Oil and Gas Infrastructure Mapping (OGIM) database v3.0

The Oil and Gas Infrastructure Mapping (OGIM) database is a global, spatially explicit, and granular dataset of oil and gas infrastructure. It is developed by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) (www.edf.org) and MethaneSAT, LLC (www.methanesat.org), a wholly owned subsidiary of EDF. The OGIM database helps fill a crucial geospatial data need, by supporting the quantification and source characterization of oil and gas methane emissions. The database is developed via acquisition, analysis, curation, integration, and quality-assurance (performed at EDF) of publicly available geospatial data sources. These oil and gas facility datasets are reported by governments, industry, academics, and other non-government entities. OGIM is a collection of data tables within a GeoPackage. Each data table within the GeoPackage includes locations and facility attributes of oil and gas infrastructure types that are important sources of methane emissions, including: oil and gas production wells, offshore production platforms, natural gas compressor stations, oil and natural gas processing facilities, liquefied natural gas facilities, crude oil refineries, and pipelines. This globally updated OGIM v3.0 database incorporates 73 new data sources, updates 83 existing sources, expands coverage from 150 to 193 countries, and increases the database to 7.6 million geospatial records spanning the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas supply chain. Additionally, we introduce several new features: First, we provide spatially explicit oil and gas production data for 20 U.S. states, linked to well- or lease-level locations where available. Second, we implement an enhanced data quality scoring framework that evaluates source reliability, update frequency, and attribute completeness for every record. Third, we demonstrate the integration of machine-learning-derived infrastructure detections from high-resolution satellite imagery to address data gaps in regions lacking public infrastructure information. OGIM v3.0 provides one of the most comprehensive openly available global datasets of oil and gas infrastructure currently available. Full details on database development and related analytics can be found in the following papers.

Sci. Data Discuss., https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-15-3761-2023, 2023. OGIM v3.0 is based on public-domain datasets reported in 2025 or prior. Each record in OGIM indicates a date (SRC_DATE) when the original source of the record was published or last updated. Some records may contain out-of-date information, for example, if a facility’s status has changed since we last visited a data source. We anticipate updating the OGIM database on a regular cadence and are continually including new public domain datasets as they become available. --- Point of Contact at Environmental Defense Fund and MethaneSAT, LLC: Mark Omara (momara@edf.org).
