To develop a map for specific public is recommended using some special symbology. I am in charge to develop a map for an audience in oil pipeline business, I would like to produce my map using a standard symbology, but so far I have not found any.
I just read some post here that led me to the INSPIRE documentation, but it does not fulfil my requirements. Does anyone have information about this topic?
ESRI has a standard for Petroleum related symbology:

Shell has also just released its 'industry standard' symbology:

I work with a slightly different symbology for pipelines but I think the general rule is:
Obviously there are tonnes of variations and pipeline types but there's some info there to get you started.
