O
il and gas pipelines installations
positioned across widespread areas that
are difficult to monitor and guard are
exceptionally valuable and important
assets. Attacks, damage or leaks to such installations
can lead to massive environmental and ecological
damages including, but not limited to, massive
lawsuits and revenue losses.
In the past, many methods of monitoring,
surveying, detecting, and locating leaks or damages
in the oil and gas pipelines have been quite costly,
ineffective and unproductive to perform and
accomplish with any great accurate results, causing
lengthy repair activities including shutdowns.
