Proving its credentials to enhance pipeline performance and protect operations, PipeSense is reflecting on a successful six month period of expanding the mileage guarded by its advanced pipeline monitoring and leak detection technologies. This includes several high-consequence areas (HCA’s).
Since the start of the year, the team behind the US-based pipeline integrity and monitoring specialist has deployed its PipeGuard leak detection system and its PipeTest services – developed for clients performing hydrotests – to several essential sites throughout the Permian Basin.
Hailed as a significant milestone in its first full year in operation, the assets guarded, and services performed emphasise a successful period for PipeSense and will facilitate its targets for further expansion regionally and internationally.
With state-of-the-art testing and development facilities in Houston and Minnesota, PipeSense's growth trajectory has been underpinned by several new contract wins that strengthen the company's capacity to support pipeline projects and improve performance across the US.
Easily fitted to any section of the pipeline, PipeSense’s portfolio of AI-backed technologies enables pipeline operators to improve operational efficiency through continuous pipeline monitoring. By adopting the latest proven AI analysis techniques, PipeSense provides tailored solutions that deliver peace of mind to pipeline operators by addressing operational challenges and enhancing pipeline performance.
Commenting on the company's success in 2024 so far, President & CTO Stuart Mitchell said: "Covering an extensive mileage of pipeline across the US is an incredibly significant milestone in our journey, made possible by our disruptive technologies and the brilliant team behind them. Innovation is non-negotiable at PipeSense, so our recent successes will allow us to keep striving to develop new solutions that the industry can proudly adopt.
Several new projects we have in development are a testament to the effectiveness of our technology in supporting operators with pipeline issues and how we have been embraced by operators since launching. We look forward to building on these successes for the remainder of the year as we target new markets and regions that will accentuate our capabilities."
