Interpretation of surveying and mapping geographic information policies for long-distance pipelines and countermeasures for application

Due to the national requirements for keeping the surveying and mapping geographic information confidential, the sharing of long-distance pipeline coordinate data is always a difficulty for the application of informatization of the pipeline operators. Meanwhile, due to the release of the Provisions on the scope of state secrets in petroleum and petrochemical industry in 2013, great controversies were generated on the confidentiality classification of pipeline coordinate data. Hence, through the analysis on the recent cases for information security and the in-depth interpretation of the relevant national and industrial policies, the problem on confidentiality classification of pipeline coordinate data was clarified. In view of the pain points and business requirements in the current application of long-distance pipeline coordinate data, a technical scheme based on GCJ02 coordinate system was developed with reference to the relevant policies and technologies of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China, and the management countermeasures were proposed in terms of the sense of security and confidentiality, map data and service, and business application, so as to meet the national regulatory requirements and the urgent needs of pipeline operators to deepen the application.(2 Figures, 1 Table, 27 References)
