Abstract
A GIS based geologic hazards assessment was completed for Chevron's product pipelines extending from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Boise, Idaho. The analysis involved gathering a significant volume of geologic data into a Geographic Information System (GIS) database. Ten hazards were modeled using criteria and weightings for individual inputs. Geologic and modeling algorithms were used to produce grid products for each hazard. Models included both qualitative interpretations for low hazard events, and quantitative evaluations of seismic and hydrologic hazards. The resulting GIS-based geo-hazard potential maps provided spatial qualitative and quantitative information on the geo-hazard potential and risk along a 317 mile long pipeline corridor.
