PipeSense has received an official U.S. patent for its PipeSentry leak detection technology, as it seeks to expand its domestic and international operations

The PipeSentry suite of technologies provides pipeline operators with a greater insight into the efficiency of their assets, with more accurate, real-time detection of leaks. The new patent will enhance PipeSense’s solutions, including its flagship advanced pipeline leak detection system PipeGuard, which improve the speed and precision of leak detection while reducing environmental impact and operational costs for operators in the oil and gas, water, and chemical industries.

Redefining standards

PipeSense CEO Joe Van Vynckt commented, "This patent reinforces our position as a leader in the pipeline safety and innovation space and is a testament to our team's hard work and dedication. PipeSense was established to redefine standards and expectations surrounding pipeline leak detection and monitoring.

“Our vision has been to provide the most advanced and reliable solutions for clients. Now, with the recognition of this U.S. Patent, we can communicate just how special our technology is in the fight against leak detection."

SLB and global cybersecurity provider Palo Alto Networks has announced collaboration expansion to strengthen cybersecurity for the energy sector

The companies will combine SLB’s cloud and edge technologies and domain expertise in the energy industry with Palo Alto Networks’ cross-industry, platform-based cybersecurity solutions. This will not only help SLB remain on the forefront with its own security infrastructure, but also help drive future enhanced solutions to address evolving cyber threats as the industry’s adoption of digital solutions and artificial intelligence accelerates.

“The maturation of our industry’s digital transformation makes cybersecurity paramount to our operations, and the digital solutions we offer to our customers,” said Olivier Le Peuch, chief executive officer, SLB. “Through this collaboration, we will continue to enhance and strengthen our role as our customers’ digital partner of choice.”

As part of the collaboration, SLB will integrate Palo Alto Networks Precision AI-powered cybersecurity platforms, including Prisma SASE, Prisma Cloud and Cortex XSIAM in its technology stack. These platforms will enable SLB to achieve comprehensive security across its network, cloud and edge platforms, enabling thousands of domain and AI users on SLB’s Delfi digital platform to collaborate in a safe and secure environment. The two companies also will develop and implement solutions for edge products and services, which will be critical as more energy customers move toward automated and autonomous operations.

“Through platformisation, organisations can simplify their management processes, reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO), and enhance their security outcomes,” said Nikesh Arora, chairman and chief executive officer, Palo Alto Networks. “Palo Alto Networks commends SLB for their forward-looking approach in shaping the future of the energy industry through secure and innovative solutions. Their vision for modern IT transformation through platformisation, aligns with our own commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure and driving technological advancement. Together, we can build a resilient and secure energy ecosystem that meets the challenges of tomorrow."

Transformative energy solutions provider AIQ has announced the successful deployment of its SMARTi Intelligent Operational Safety Monitoring solution on board 86 vessels of ADNOC Logistics and Services 

SMARTi leverages artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyse video streams in real-time, performing more than 1 billion predictions a day and enabling rapid detection and classification of safety behavior, incidents, and hazardous situations. The solution can be seamlessly integrated into existing CCTV platforms to improve safety on vessels.

Dr. Christopher Cooper, CEO of AIQ, said, "The deployment of our highly effective SMARTi solution to ADNOC L&S vessels is another example of how AIQ is delivering leading-edge, homegrown AI technology to the heart of the Energy sector. The solution has an ever-expanding profile of uses, and we look forward to extending this initial deployment to an even greater number of vessels within the ADNOC L&S fleet and beyond."

ADNOC L&S will utilise the UAE-developed SMARTi solution to further improve safety on its vessels through automated monitoring, detection and reporting of safety protocol violations and incidents.

Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S said, “The deployment of AIQ’s SMARTi technology on our ships demonstrates our commitment to 100% HSE, as we continue to invest in innovation to optimize our operations and drive further value for our business and customers. ADNOC L&S is committed to deploying cutting-edge AI-based technologies across our entire business ensuring our vessels are a safe environment for our people.”

SMARTi (previously known as Smart Vessel) is capable of processing a vast number of images daily with greater than 90% accuracy. The solution is able to detect the absence of personal protective equipment (including helmet, uniform, and life vest), entrance and presence within a restricted area, slip and fall, man overboard and other defined scenarios.

ADNOC has announced that its offshore Satah Al Razboot (SARB) field has increased production capacity by 25% to 140,000 bpd through the implementation of advanced digital technologies

The digital solutions implemented onsite at SARB allow the field to be operated remotely from Zirku island, 20km away. Remote monitoring, smart well operations and production management technologies are integrated at the remote control centre for optimised real-time decision-making. This has enabled the accelerated growth in field capacity with reduced costs and emissions. The field’s digitalisation will enable the deployment of additional AI solutions to further enhance and optimise operations. AIQ solutions DrillRep and OptiDrill process data from rigs and wells at the field, enhancing drilling efficiency and optimisation. By utilising daily drilling data reports and rig sensor data, AIQ’s technology supports drilling operations with the necessary insights and actions to optimise the drilling process.

Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, ADNOC Upstream executive director, said, “AI and digitalisation are at the heart of ADNOC’s smart growth strategy to help responsibly meet the world’s growing energy demand. By deploying industry-leading technologies at SARB field, we have increased production capacity while enhancing the safety, sustainability and efficiency of our operations, strengthening ADNOC’s position as one of the world’s lowest-cost and least carbon intensive energy producers.”
