Oil and gas processing and pipeline assets monitored across the operating chain

Industry / Oil, Gas & Petrochemical

From wellhead to processing plant, every operating risk leaves a signal.

HERTZINNO combines acoustic imaging, methane verification, acoustic fingerprint monitoring, ground-vibration sensing and distributed fiber technologies across upstream sites, pipelines, terminals and processing facilities.

Industry hub for operators, EPC teams, integrity engineers and maintenance organizations.

A multi-signal view

Detect the event, verify the source and preserve field evidence.

Oil, gas and petrochemical assets create different early signals depending on the risk. A pressurized leak may generate ultrasound, methane requires gas-specific verification, pipeline interference appears as ground or fiber-borne vibration, and mechanical degradation can emerge as an abnormal acoustic pattern. The monitoring layer should follow the physical event and the operating environment.

This page organizes HERTZINNO capabilities by operating segment. Product specifications and project-specific performance remain on the relevant product and solution pages.

01

Ultrasonic leak emissions

Pressurized gas escaping at valves, flanges, fittings and process connections.

02

Methane concentration

Gas-specific confirmation after a suspected source has been located.

03

Ground & route vibration

Pig passage, excavation, vehicles and third-party activity near pipelines.

04

Temperature & machine sound

Thermal risks and abnormal acoustic patterns around equipment and routes.

Gas wellhead and valve-group assets at an upstream operating site
01 / Upstream

Upstream & Well Sites

Extend leak and equipment monitoring to remote wellhead assets.

Wellheads, gas wells and remote valve groups require monitoring methods that can work around variable background noise, unattended operation and limited access. Portable methane inspection and fixed acoustic fingerprint monitoring serve different parts of that workflow.

Typical monitoring priorities
  • Wellhead and valve-group leak signatures
  • Methane localization and verification
  • Remote or unattended site monitoring
  • Pumps, compressors and auxiliary equipment
Pipeline and midstream station connected to a remote route
02 / Midstream

Pipelines & Midstream

Separate route events, station leaks and pig movement into distinct workflows.

Long-distance pipelines and remote stations face different monitoring needs. Ground-vibration nodes and DAS can support route-event awareness, acoustic systems can cover valve or compressor stations, and dedicated pig-tracking workflows can confirm passage and investigate abnormal stops.

Typical monitoring priorities
  • Third-party excavation and vehicle activity
  • Cleaning-pig passage and route progress
  • Valve-station and compressor-station leaks
  • Remote evidence and event verification
Oil and gas storage terminal with tanks and transfer piping
03 / Storage

Storage & Terminals

Cover the transfer points where fixed assets and operating activity meet.

Tank farms, terminals and loading areas combine outdoor piping, valves, transfer equipment, electrical assets and long cable routes. Portable inspection, fixed monitoring and distributed temperature sensing can be assigned according to the risk and access pattern.

Typical monitoring priorities
  • Valves, flanges and loading connections
  • Outdoor methane and gas-leak inspection
  • Cable, route and fire-temperature monitoring
  • Pumps and transfer-equipment condition
Refinery and petrochemical process equipment with rotating machinery
04 / Processing

Refining & Processing

Bring leak localization and equipment condition into the same inspection program.

Refineries and petrochemical units contain dense piping, pressure systems, rotating equipment and restricted-access areas. Handheld inspection and fixed monitoring can complement existing gas detection by helping teams locate acoustic sources and document maintenance priorities.

Typical monitoring priorities
  • Process-unit valves, flanges and gas systems
  • Hazardous or difficult-access inspection areas
  • Compressors, pumps, fans and motors
  • Electrical, cable and local thermal risks

Asset-to-signal map

Match the operating risk to the signal that reveals it.

A site-wide program does not need one sensor everywhere. It needs a clear relationship between the asset, the physical event, the confirmation method and the maintenance response.

Monitoring architecture

Combine portable, fixed and route-level sensing around the operating objective.

Inspection frequency, hazardous-area requirements, power availability, communications and the need for visual evidence all influence the final architecture. HERTZINNO can combine these layers without treating different physical signals as interchangeable.

01

Acoustic imaging

Locate pressurized leak sources and abnormal acoustic emissions around piping and equipment.

02

TDLAS methane verification

Confirm methane concentration after or during source localization.

03

Acoustic fingerprint

Continuously monitor gas wells, valves and equipment for abnormal sound patterns.

04

Ground vibration & DAS

Monitor pipeline corridors for pig passage, excavation and third-party activity.

05

DTS temperature sensing

Add route-level thermal visibility around cables, terminals and fire-risk areas.

Plan the next monitoring layer

Tell us the site type, target event and operating constraints.

Share the asset type, target gas or event, hazardous-area classification, route length, available power and communications, current inspection workflow and whether the requirement is portable, fixed or distributed. HERTZINNO can help structure the appropriate monitoring architecture.
