The American Petroleum Institute (API) continues to do an exceptional job hosting this event each year. From...Continue Reading

A system may perform well in simulation or under idealized steady-state assumptions, but its practical value is determined by how it behaves when exposed to real pipeline dynamics, measurement uncertainty, transient operations, and controlled loss events. That’s why we recently put our gas leak detection model to the test at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), on...Continue Reading

Last month, we joined developers from around the globe at the Seattle Convention Center—alongside hundreds of thousands tuning in online – at the 2025 Microsoft Build conference. This year’s gathering centered on what Microsoft terms the “agentic web,” where AI agents evolve from simple assistants into autonomous collaborators capable of carrying out complex tasks across services...Continue Reading

Flowstate’s Background Digital Leak Simulator How do you know the leak detection system you implemented months – or years – ago is still working? Does it still have the same sensitivity it did when it was commissioned? Initial testing is conducted to verify that a system achieves it expected performance. A number of tests may...Continue Reading

It is well attended, and the presentations are excellent. There are a few ways you can find us at this year’s event; attend one of our presentations or find us in the Exhibit Hall.   Attend...Continue Reading

There are many challenges to monitoring a pipeline – not to mention implementing some sort of leak detection on it. For some pipelines, one of the challenges is simply getting data! Remote locations, access to power and comms are just some of the hurdles that get in the way of operators viewing operational data. We...Continue Reading
