There is considerable economic and environment benefits for the UK from shale gas but this is critically dependant on its safe and responsible exploitation. There are many complex factors to be considered, however, there is the opportunity to adapt sensor and wireless communication technology to allow for the remote condition monitoring of wellheads. This will ensure that the site operator will be immediately alerted to any leaking of gas. Anomalous vibration indicative of seismic events will similarly be identified. SCT a leading specialist in applying this technology and intends, with their partner, Severn Unival a world leading specialist in valves for the Oil & Gas industry, to create a "smart valve" which will provide both the sensing and wireless communication platform for the safe and responsible operation of shale gas wellheads. Furthermore, this will allow the regulator to ensure compliance and make available to the public key performance data thus addressing many of the current concerns.

页岩气为英国带来了可观的经济和环境效益，但这主要取决于其安全和负责任的开采。有许多复杂的因素需要考虑，但是，有机会采用传感器和无线通信技术，以实现井口的远程状态监测。这将确保现场操作员在任何气体泄漏时立即得到警报。类似地，将识别指示地震事件的异常振动。SCT是应用该技术的领先专家，并打算与他们的合作伙伴塞文Unival（世界领先的石油和天然气行业阀门专家）一起创建一个“智能阀门”，该阀门将为页岩气井口的安全和负责任的操作提供传感和无线通信平台。此外，这将使监管机构能够确保合规性并向公众提供关键性能数据，从而解决当前的许多问题。
