Hifi completes successful testing of O&G leak detection technology

Hifi Engineering Inc, Calgary, has successfully tested its fibre optic sensing technology for monitoring gas and fluid flows in pipelines and oil and gas wells. The testing, which achieved 100% performance with no false positives, was conducted in conjunction with C-CORE, a St John’s NF-based R&D organization with expertise in remote sensing, geotechnical engineering and ice engineering.  Funding was provided by LOOK North, a commercialization agency hosted by C-CORE. Hifi had previously worked with Enbridge’s Pipeline Controls Systems and Leak Detection team to evaluate its high-fidelity dynamic sensing technology and has received $2 million in support from Sustainable Development Technology Canada.
