Abstract

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in industrial application scenarios, oil and gas industry (OGI) automation is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Existing monitoring methods like IoT sensor-based surveillance offer accuracy but struggle with transmission inefficiency. Conversely, UAV-based surveillance enables seamless communication but limited sensing capabilities. This article addresses the challenges of latency, energy efficiency, and cost in state-of-the-art leakage detection technologies for OGI pipelines. A three-tier architecture is proposed, integrating IoT, UAVs, and artificial intelligence-empowered edge computing to enhance pipeline surveillance. We aim to propose specialized routing that addresses IoT energy and fault tolerance issues, while UAVs act as relays to transmit data efficiently to control centers, considering factors like UAV energy and data complexity. Intelligent edge services optimize data transmission, prolong UAV lifespan, and manage latency. Various use cases are explored, and open research challenges with potential solutions are presented.

用于 OGI 管道监测的智能物联网和无人机辅助架构

随着物联网（IoT）和无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）在工业应用场景中的出现，石油和天然气行业（OGI）的自动化正经历着一场引人注目的变革。现有的监控方法（如基于物联网传感器的监控）精度高，但传输效率低。相反，基于无人机的监控可实现无缝通信，但传感能力有限。本文探讨了最先进的 OGI 管道泄漏检测技术在延迟、能效和成本方面所面临的挑战。我们提出了一种三层架构，将物联网、无人机和人工智能赋能的边缘计算整合在一起，以加强管道监控。我们的目标是提出专门的路由选择，以解决物联网的能源和容错问题，而无人机则作为中继器将数据高效地传输到控制中心，同时考虑到无人机的能源和数据复杂性等因素。智能边缘服务可优化数据传输、延长无人机寿命并管理延迟。本文探讨了各种使用案例，并提出了具有潜在解决方案的开放式研究挑战。
