Title:

Pilot IoT Leak Detection System on Vermilion's Gathering Pipelines

Agreement Number:

949151

Agreement Value:

$50,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 1, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021

Description:

A significant portion of Alberta’s gathering pipeline base is composed of lines carrying emulsion water, salt water and liquid hydro carbons over short distances from oil wells to batteries and process plants. These pipelines are intertwined with multiple branch connections. There is currently a lack of cost-effective and efficient ways to detect pin-hole sized leaks on these pipelines.To address this problem, Vanmok has developed an IoT/Cloud based technology that could detect pin-hole leaks and would significantly reduce the environmental consequence of pipeline spills across the entire oil and gas industry. The main objective of this project is adaptation and implementation of Vanmok LD® Cloud on an Industrial gathering pipeline system.
