Why You Need Leak Detection System In Oil & Gas

Oil and gas production operates within tight margins and under tighter regulatory control. Infrastructure can span miles, carrying millions of gallons of product, often around the clock. As such, the specter of leaks looms large. Any leak, small or large, can be dangerous to the bottom line, the surrounding environment, or personnel.

Detecting and stopping leaks is a high priority for any production site. Every oil and gas producer has its own methods for leak monitoring. But often times leaks are caught too late, and workers are scrambling to clean up, patch up, and restore operations before things get worse.

However, with a digital leak detection system (LDS), operators can get a warning the moment a leak begins. An LDS combines sensors and analytics to give a complete view of the pipeline infrastructure that can minimize risks, decrease product loss, and maintain profit margins.
