GeoFields, Inc., a global leader in asset data management and integrity management solutions for the pipeline industry, today announced the demonstration of a gas distribution risk modeling solution at the 24th World Gas Conference. GeoFields will showcase the upcoming release of RiskFrame® DIMP Modeler in the GeoFields booth #Y44, October 7-9, 2009, at the La Rural Exhibition and Conference Centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

"GeoFields is pleased to have the opportunity to showcase our latest pipeline integrity management solution in front of this focused, international natural gas audience," said Brad Schaaf, chief executive officer at GeoFields. "Adding to our robust RiskFrame suite of integrity applications, gas distribution operators will be able to model and prioritize risk, meeting the demands of Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP) requirements."

The RiskFrame DIMP Modeler demonstration will highlight the ability to identify threats and model distribution risk without the need of a measured centerline, a typical requirement for transmission systems. Users will have the ability to apply their organization's risk algorithms, define the contributing risk factors (causes and consequences), and calculate the final risk value. Following the processing of this data, the resulting risk scores can be displayed within a map document, tabular or chart view, allowing operators to more efficiently prioritize and focus on areas having the highest risk.
