GIS for Achieving Sustainable Development of Gas Industry

Abstract

The main goal of gas industry development strategy is to find and justify the optimum balance between gas production and consumption, ensure harmonious and synchronous advancement of all system developing sectors. This task imposes certain requirements on methods of storing and visualizing information in gas industry, its past, current status and future development. For this purpose, Gazprom VNIIGAZ-NIIGazeconomica LLC has developed its own version of geo-information system, which allows to efficiently structure, analyze, revise and visualize all information on the long-term development programs of gas industry by means of synthesizing tabulated and cartographic data. © 2015, Kazak and Komarov.
