Interactive Pipeline Map

Canada has a vast network of pipelines that transport millions of litres of oil and gas every day.

The interactive online Pipeline Map by the National Energy Board shows the approximate spatial location of federally regulated pipelines in Canada, as well as indicates any incidents (from 2008 to present) that were reported under the Onshore Pipeline Regulations and the Processing Plant Regulations related to pipelines under federal jurisdiction.

With this interactive mapping application, Canadians can easily identify where pipelines are located and find important related safety information. Users can also discover information about a pipeline, who operates it, and what products it transports.

The Interactive Pipeline Map user guide explains all the various functionality available.
