Oil & Gas
The oil and gas industry operates in some of the harshest and most hazardous environments on earth. From long-distance pipelines and refineries to LNG terminals and storage tanks, risks such as fire, leaks, and malicious activity can cause catastrophic safety, environmental, and financial consequences. Bandweaver’s fiber optic sensing solutions provide continuous, real-time monitoring to detect and respond to incidents before they escalate. Our technologies combine Linear Heat Detection (FireLaser DTS + FireFiber) for fire safety, Leak Detection (DTS) for early leak identification, and Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PIDs with DAS) for security, delivering complete lifecycle protection across upstream, midstream, and downstream assets

APPLICATIONS
Pipelines
Pipelines transport hydrocarbons across vast distances, often through remote or inaccessible terrain. Bandweaver’s Leak Detection (DTS) continuously monitors for temperature anomalies that indicate leaks, enabling rapid isolation and minimising environmental damage. In addition, PIDs detect construction activity, digging, or deliberate malicious attacks along buried routes — threats that account for a significant proportion of pipeline failures. Together, these systems safeguard integrity and extend pipeline service life.


Refineries & Plants
Refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities face extreme fire and process safety challenges. Bandweaver’s LHD (FireLaser DTS + FireFiber) provides fire protection for compressor stations, process units, cable galleries, and substations, unaffected by smoke, steam, or harsh atmospheric conditions. Leak Detection monitors tanks and pipelines for seepage, reducing environmental impact and unplanned downtime. PIDs can further secure perimeters and restricted zones, protecting critical infrastructure against unauthorised access.
Storage Tanks & LNG Facilities
Storage facilities pose significant fire and environmental hazards due to the volume of hydrocarbons they hold. Bandweaver’s LHD solutions detect fire at tank bases, bund walls, and terminals with continuous coverage. Leak Detection identifies seepage or insulation failures in LNG cryogenic tanks. PIDs protect perimeters, detecting unauthorised vehicle or personnel movement in restricted storage areas. This layered approach ensures full safety and security for critical storage assets.
