Case Study: University of Manchester achieves faster oil theft detection with TBG Solutions

University of Manchester detects oil theft at 3km intervals with TBG Solutions

The University of Manchester, a leading research university, collaborated with TBG Solutions on a project to address the significant challenge of oil theft from pipelines in Nigeria. The challenge was to develop a reliable and covert system capable of providing instant theft warnings to prevent massive financial losses and environmental damage.

TBG Solutions engineered a robust, wireless sensor system that used satellite links and vibration-detection algorithms to accurately pinpoint theft locations along a pipeline. The solution was successfully demonstrated on a test loop, and its implementation promises to provide a strong deterrent against oil theft, preventing substantial financial loss and greatly reducing environmental impact from spilt oil.
