Abstract
Integrating GIS with Pipeline Simulation Software Track: Pipeline Author(s): Clay Noble Over the last ten years, energy companies, including gas gatherers, transmission and distribution companies, have begun using GIS to make maps, meet regulatory requirements, and as a business development and planning tool. Because GIS and pipeline simulation software have similar characteristics and use the same data these companies have begun integrating the two. However, they are finding this easier said than done. This paper discusses the issues and experiences of creating pipeline simulation models from GIS and displaying the results in GIS.
