New Case Studies Announced: Pembina Pipeline, Kinder Morgan, Midstream Integrity Services, GPA Midstream, AAPG
Widely regarded as the best place to share insights with other pipeline operators and network with industry innovators, the Oil & Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Congress (Houston, June 26-30, 2023) is packed with case studies covering strategies and technologies for leak detection and emissions monitoring for all types of pipelines, including gas, multi-phase, short, long, and those in high-consequence areas presented by Leak Detection and Pipeline Flow Assurance specialists.
NEW CASE STUDIES ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK INCLUDE:
Pembina Pipeline's Supervisor, Leak Detection, Idowu Adewale, is joining the conference to discuss leak detection solutions for liquid gathering pipelines on Day 2, including advanced sensors, computational monitoring, DFOS, and pressure monitoring.
And Kinder Morgan's Director, Damage Prevention, Kirk Steinberger, will be discussing his work on automated threat detection and liquids leak detection in Kinder Morgan's partnership with the Congress Official Supporter, Flyscan.
Midstream Integrity Services are confirmed as the Congress Fiber Optic Sensing Systems Sponsor and Tony McMurtrey, Director, Fiber Network and Technology will be representing MIS's pioneering distributed acoustic sensing technology and chairing the gas pipeline day of the conference.
In addition, two prominent Oil & Gas associations are getting involved in the Congress agenda. GPA Midstream will be sharing information on their Clear the Air campaign, with Kevin Broom,VP Communications presenting, emphasising the importance of bringing expertise to the conversation about energy.
And Susan Nash, Director of Innovation & Emerging Science, AAPG will be presenting on machine learning for imaging and deep learning for predictive maintenance. This will involve additional opportunities for AI in sensors and cloud management integration.
