Abstract
Applying ArcGIS to Identify Communities Near Pipelines Track: Petroleum and Pipeline Transmission Author(s): Gilberto Hernandes Bolívia-Brasil Natural Gas Pipeline has 1,543 miles of pipeline in Brazilian territory, the largest of its kind in South America. The transportation capacity is 30 MMm3/day. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology used to identify communities around the pipeline using aerial photography, QuickBird high-resolution images and geoprocessing tools. These technologies allowed users to generate a useful cadastral GIS data and identify High Consequence Areas (HCA) at pipeline corridor. The results contribute to risk analysis, integrity management, safety, social responsibility, environment program. Gilberto Hernandes TBG QSMS Av.
