Huawei Technologies, a Chinese multinational technology firm, has unveiled a newly developed technology called the Intelligent Pipeline Monitoring System to foster fight against crude oil theft in Nigeria.
This was disclosed by the Director, Huawei Nigeria Enterprise Business, Mr Li Wei, while speaking at the ongoing Nigerian International Energy Summit in Abuja.
Wei stated that Huawei has developed a fibre vibration intrusion warning system that uses Artificial Intelligence to identify intrusion scenarios accurately, with a high identification precision, accurate positioning, and quick response that will help to ensure pipeline safety and reduce theft and vandalism.
The Director further stated that the new technology will help oil and gas companies to achieve real-time visualised production, enhance production efficiency, reduce production costs, and optimise production resource allocation to improve oil field production.
Huawei expressed that with the ongoing fluctuation of international oil prices, the digital transformation of Nigeria’s upstream sector is of major concern.
Wei spoke further that, Huawei Technologies would be providing high-quality ICT solutions and services, and it will purposefully support the Nigerian government in building a talent ecosystem.
