What We Do

Convert cameras into intelligent sensors that make business decisions, using powerful decision-making software (analytics)

Analytics run on real time video to provide automated alerts.

Delivers reliable detection in complex environments where noise had previously limited application.

Operates in remote, low bandwidth Processes at edge.

Scalable enterprise architecture

Technology OverviewIntelliView has developed new methods of detecting liquid spills and leaks for Oil and Gas facilities. The solution is a combination of patented software analytics, purpose built ruggedized hardware, and video sensors.Camera images are sent to the DVR and processed by the chosen analytic (leak, security), which determines if user defined rules are met.The system is fully automated, notifying personnel when an alarm condition occurs as well as sending scheduled images or video as a routine site check.A full suite of site security analytics can also be implemented on the same platform, using additional sensors and/or access control.Remote communications are fully supported, with multiple protocol, SCADA, and instrumentation ports to tie into on-site process controls.

FACTs - Market drivers

Typical video analytics look for pixel changes in the thermal image to determine if there is a leak. Over two years of development work focused specifically on leak characteristics, installation environments, and customer feedback has shown this to be too simplistic and results in high volumes of false alarms. IntelliView Leak Detection analytics watch for specific characteristics, some of which include:The leak must originate within the area of interest.The leak must be persistent within the time period.The leak must be within a certain diameter within the area of interest.Multiple leak origin points are valid only if within a certain time period/size/location.The leak must be a certain size.The leak must have a movement component.

These components combine within the analytic to discriminate between simple movement and an actual leak.The Leak Analytic, more than heat changes.

Typical Applications in Oil & Gas EnvironmentsMonitoring of remote or unmanned pump stations to detect liquid leaks and for site security.Monitoring of above ground equipment such as valves, pig traps, or unmanned batteries for detection of liquid leaks and for site security.Temporary monitoring of drilling rigs (oil or gas) that are unmanned during break up for site security.Monitoring of critical sections of above ground pipeline such as river crossings, near populated areas, or partially manned facilities requiring immediate response.Flare and stack monitoring for safety and ERCB requirements.Integration with DeltaV process control for color and thermal imaging and monitoring.Bird detection for all weather 24/7 prevention for tailings ponds.Perimeter security in large footprint facilities with or without fencing.

Where does the liquid leak detection analytic work?Above ground oil production, processing & transport facilitiesPump stationsHeaders / block valvesTank terminalsRiver crossingsSAGD production wellpadsConventional pump jacksHot bitumen linesBitumen treatment areasTailings processingAny above ground liquids processing area where the liquid has a temperature that is different from its surrounding environment.

Leak Detection - AnalyticsIntelliViews patented analytics also incorporate breakthrough technology to dramatically reduce the false alarms which plague competitive video based solutions. These new algorithms compensate for changes in shadow, glare, and snow to reduce these errors by over 95%.Additional user controls further reduce false alarms including filtering target size, speed, and direction.Field application detection rates are fully documented

Hundreds of tests in both controlled conditions and at customer sites has resulted in reliable, repeatable, and site functional solutions. Tight integration and control of each system module maximizes overall system capability.

Pump Station Leak Detection - OutdoorThermal cameras monitor outdoor headers and valves, detecting leaks through differences in ambient temperature and product temperature. Color cameras pair with the thermal cameras to provide operators with further detail to confirm alerts and alarms.Pump Station Monitoring

At 25m the analytic can detect a leak the size of a sheet of paper, whether it is spraying, dripping, or pooling. The analytic is capable of detecting a leak using a temperature difference as little as 2o C. In actual application, simulated leaks have been routinely detected at all temperatures, with a typical response of less than a minute when configured for higher confidence levels.

Pump Station Leak Detection - IndoorColor cameras monitor indoor areas such as floors and drains, detecting leaks through matching the color of the product to a predefined color palette . Color Match Analytics require consistent lighting, and can be configured to as close to the color match needs to be to trigger.As the product moves into the area being monitored, the analytic compares the color of the leak against user defined parameters including how close the color is to the target and how much area is being covered. Once alarm conditions are met, the system triggers the alarm.Indoor Pump House Monitoring

Critical Oil & Gas Infrastructure SecurityUnmanned pump stations are susceptible to undetected leaks as well as vandalism. IntelliViews SmrtDVR system can provide fully automated monitoring to manage all aspects of remote operational risks. Color and/or thermal cameras monitor locations such as fences, gates, access roads and yard spaces. Security analytics include line crossing, movement in area, loitering and others.Access through gates and doors can also be controlled.Unauthorized access triggers alarms and sends an image immediately.
