Automation and control systems are necessary throughout oil & gas industries, to production and processing plants, and distribution and retailing of petroleum products. Pipelines are the efficient mode of transportations of fuels for processing plants over long distances. At present Automation is achieved by using PLC’s that are communicated through SCADA. But it is complex and remote operation is not possible. With the introduction of IoT, the pipeline leak detection system is improved through real-time monitoring of the pipelines. Our Proposed system is designed to detect even small leakage that occurs within the pipeline. The implementation of IoT in oil and gas industries prevents accidents and to make quick decisions based on real-time data.
