项目的公开描述请以公众可以理解的方式描述您的项目。只有当您与Innovate UK贷款有限公司签订贷款协议以遵守政府要求时，才会发布此说明。提供此摘要是强制性的，但文本将不会被评估。请确保它适合公开披露。如果没有这一点，就不会向成功的项目提供资金。全球石油和天然气行业在泄漏检测、安全漏洞和事故预防方面面临着迅速增长的问题。这些事件影响全球价格、石油和天然气供应，并对环境和在这些管道附近生活和工作的人的生活造成长期和高度破坏性的损害。虽然有多个团体面临这个问题，但只有一个团体，即石油和天然气管道公司，可以采取行动解决这个问题。该项目旨在开发Limpet，这是一种开创性的O&G管道监测解决方案，用于有效，连续，真实的时间监测，识别和减少所有管道泄漏。我们的解决方案将结合联合收割机基于云的分析和原位传感技术，利用数据分析的变革力量，并在全球范围内彻底改变泄漏，盗窃和破坏检测解决方案的功效。Limpet解决方案不仅对O&G公司和整个社会都是一个高价值的主张，因为它将提供以下好处：（1）连续的管道监控，具有真实的时间警报，确保O&G的不间断供应（2）大大提高了99+%的检测率，（3）更便宜的安装操作和维护成本，（4）具有10年以上生命周期的可改造硬件设备（4）由于减少了碳氢化合物泄漏以及消除了电力使用而减少了碳排放。

Public description of project Please describe your project in a way that is understandable to the general public. This description will be published only if you enter into a loan agreement with Innovate UK Loans Ltd to comply with government requirements. Providing this summary is mandatory but the text will not be assessed. Please ensure it is suitable for public disclosure. Funding will not be provided to successful projects without this.The global oil and gas industry has a rapidly growing problem with leak detection, security breaches and the prevention of incidents. These incidents affect global prices, oil and gas supply and cause long lasting and highly destructive damage to the environment and the lives of those who live and work near these pipelines. While there are multiple groups exposed to this problem only one, the oil and gas pipeline companies, can act to tackle the problem. This project seeks to develop Limpet, a ground breaking, O&G pipeline monitoring solution for the effectual, continuous, real time monitoring, identification and reduction of all pipeline leaks. Our solution will combine cloud-based analysis and in-situ sensing technology capitalising on transformational power of data analytics and revolutionising the efficacy of leak, theft and vandalism detection solutions globally. The Limpet solution is a high value proposition not only for O&G companies and society as a whole as it will provide the following benefits: (1) continuous pipeline monitoring with real time alerts ensuring uninterrupted supply of O&G (2 )greatly improved detection rates of 99+%, (3)cheaper installation operation and maintenance costs, (4) a retrofittable hardware device with a lifecycle of 10+ years (4) reduced carbon emissions due to reduced hydrocarbon leaks as well as eliminated power usage.
