With the rapid oil and gas industry development, the city gas pipeline has become a necessary infrastructure of the modern city. The Pipe leakage emergency rescue often involving multiple people and departments at all levels, also a large number of geographical space data for piping around. The Geographic Information System (GIS) has many advantages that it can conduct spatial data management, data visualization, analysis, simulation, and integrating with other systems. The main study line is simulating the gas diffusion, firing and exposing, once leaking, researching to the establishment of accident prevention, reducing damage caused by an accident emergency rescue system of city natural gas pipeline. The system can make a visual show of the assessment area of accident consequence with different grades through inputting physical and chemical parameters of natural gas, initial state of gas leakage and weather conditions.

Horizontal Directional Drilling, as known as HDD, is a method of construction that requires few trenches or no continuous trenches, used for making crossings under rivers, roads and existing structures. In the oil and gas industry, it is most commonly used in offshore and onshore well drilling activities to better explore the reservoir from a single well. It is also very much used when laying pipelines, where no other feasible option is possible. This technology was widely applied in the Urucu-Manaus natural-gas pipeline construction by Petrobras, and Transpetro has been responsible for the operation and maintenance of this pipeline since November 2009, flowing Natural Gas from the heart of the Amazon forest mainly to the growing market of thermoelectric plants. Due to its extension in the forest, the crossing of numerous wide navigable rivers and other natural obstacles was unavoidable, and no other construction methods were more suitable than the HDD technology. This work shows the application of this method in the 1777m long crossing of the Solimões River during the construction of this 662km Natural Gas pipeline. It also shows the challenges faced due to the logistical adversities in the rainforest, as well as the operations by Transpetro.
