Fibre optic monitoring technologies for infrastructure protection

Petrofibre Arabia Equipment Company Ltd., the first Saudi manufacturer specialising in advanced fibre optic monitoring systems, will host a live technology showcase on 16–17 June 2026, demonstrating Saudi-made solutions designed to strengthen pipeline integrity, infrastructure security, and operational reliability across the energy sector

The event will feature live demonstrations of FibreLeak™, Petrofibre Arabia’s Pipeline Leak Detection System (PLDS), which uses distributed temperature sensing, and FibreGuard™, its Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which uses distributed acoustic sensing. Both are developed to provide continuous real-time monitoring of critical assets using Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing technologies.

The showcase will bring together asset owners, EPC contractors, engineering consultants, industrial operators, and technology specialists from across Saudi Arabia to experience the practical application of locally manufactured monitoring solutions for pipelines, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure.

Headquartered in Al Khobar, Petrofibre Arabia designs, manufactures, installs, and supports advanced fibre optic monitoring systems serving the oil and gas, petrochemical, utilities, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. The company provides complete lifecycle support including engineering, system design, commissioning, training, and long-term maintenance services.

FibreLeak™ enables operators to detect and locate potential leaks at an early stage, helping reduce environmental risks, product losses, and operational disruptions. FibreGuard™ provides continuous monitoring of pipeline corridors and critical infrastructure by identifying unauthorized activities, third-party interference, and potential security threats before they develop into major incidents.

As part of Saudi Arabia’s industrial transformation, Petrofibre Arabia is contributing to the localisation of advanced monitoring technologies traditionally supplied from international markets. The company is approved within Saudi Aramco’s supplier ecosystem and has achieved Saudi Aramco Plant Number and 9COM registration, reinforcing its commitment to quality, compliance, and local manufacturing excellence.

The technology showcase reflects the company’s broader vision of positioning Saudi Arabia as a regional centre for intelligent infrastructure monitoring technologies while supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 through innovation, industrial localisation, and the development of nationally manufactured high-value technologies.

By combining advanced fibre optic sensing capabilities with local engineering expertise, Petrofibre Arabia continues to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s ability to protect critical infrastructure, improve asset integrity, and support safer, smarter, and more sustainable operations across the Kingdom and beyond.
