Description

Oil and gas pipeline routing criteria, sub-criteria, parameters and the routine alternatives were reviewed from literature and later structured using the concept of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) based on Analytical Network Process (ANP) that offer a feedback mechanism model of these factors to obtain their various weights for prioritization, through questionnaire administration. Moreover, the land use land cover for the study areas were sourced through the acquisition of LANDSAT 8 imageries, thereafter processed, and classified. Other spatial data were sourced and bathymetry information were further modelled in ArcMap 10.2 environment in order to obtain an optimum route for the study areas. The spatial analysis thereafter was carried out to validate the model for the optimal route that out-performed the original design route and three other alternative routes.

Steps to reproduce

Routing factors should be sourced and identified from reviewed literature and structured into Analytical Network Process (ANP) of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) for prioritization. ANP based Surveys should be conducted through questionnaire administration by various experts in order to obtain the weights. Also, LANDSAT 8 imageries of the study area should be acquired, processed, and classified into various land use and land cover. Thereafter, the datasets shou;d be processed in a GIS software environment (like ESRI ArcGIS, as used in this study) in order to obtain an optimum route for oil and gas pipelines out of the other four.
