SONATRACH and Huawei Jointly Innovate a Smart Oil and Gas Pipeline Fiber Sensing Inspection Solution

Leave a comment

BARCELONA, Spain, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the MWC Barcelona 2024, SONATRACH, the state-owned oil company of Algeria shared the achievements of the smart oil and gas pipeline fiber sensing inspection solution deployed with Huawei. The solution ensures high security, intelligence, and high efficiency of pipelines through automated pipeline inspection, which is enabled by distributed fiber optic sensing technology.


As a key contributor in the oil industry of Algeria, SONATRACH runs about 43 oil and gas pipelines, accompanying with 14,000 km optical cables. Traditional manual inspection is costly and inefficient, and it is difficult to obtain the pipeline running status 24/7 in real time. The SONATRACH Joint Innovation Center hopes to work with Huawei and other partners to reduce O&M costs, proactively warn pipeline damage, and quickly locate fiber cuts using innovative technologies.

Huawei has developed an innovative pipeline fiber sensing solution using the distributed fiber optic sensing technology. In the solution, Huawei OptiXsense EF3000 (an optical sensing device) is deployed to implement 24/7 high-precision automatic pipeline inspection and warning.

The smart oil and gas pipeline fiber sensing inspection solution is based on Huawei’s optical fiber sensing solution and live-network service management process. When external construction occurs around a pipeline, the accompanying optical fiber deployed along the pipeline collects vibration information and transmits the information to the optical sensing device deployed in a station or block valve station (BVS) equipment room, thereby achieving precise positioning.

Joint innovation practices show that the fiber warning solution has excellent performance in pipeline inspection scenarios, for example:

  1. Different events such as fiber cuts, manual excavation, and mechanical excavation can be accurately analyzed, so that a valid site visit can be arranged.
  2. The alarm accuracy is high, with a false positive rate of only 0.012 times/km/day. All alarms within 2 meters above the optical fiber can be reported normally.
  3. The positioning capability is powerful. The average positioning error is less than 10 meters, and the GIS location information on the optical cable map is accurate.

Sana Lallali, manager of SONATRACH Joint Innovation Center, said, “Fiber Sensing Inspection Solution helps solve problems such as difficult manual inspection and slow risk identification. We are satisfied with the joint innovation achievements with Huawei. We hope to further cooperate with Huawei to promote the intelligent transformation of the oil industry.”

At Orangeleaf Consulting, helmed by visionary, Ellice Ng, “We are honored to collaborate with Macnica, a leader in the technology solutions space in Japan. Together, we look forward to driving meaningful digital transformation outcomes and contributing to the success of Macnica’s clients in the manufacturing industry. We aim not just to influence, but to revolutionize the way people think and act in the enterprise software industry through advance technology. Our ultimate aspiration: Operate dynamically, pushing boundaries to achieve audacious goals, instilling a culture of relentless innovation and unparalleled success.”

In addition, Ellice also mentioned the manufacturing industry is a significant and integral part of Japan’s economy. Japan has long been recognized as a major global player in manufacturing, particularly in sectors such as automotive, electronics, machinery, and precision equipment.

Problem Statement: Why is Digital Transformation (DX) in Japan’s manufacturing industry not progressing? The challenge is to cultivate DX culture and develop human resources.
The wave of Industry 4.0 (Fourth Industrial Revolution), which was born in Germany in 2011, greatly shook the manufacturing industry in Japan. Many companies in Japan have been calling for “DX (digital transformation) in the manufacturing industry and have set up DX promotion departments and managers to make investments. DX is a strategic initiative that involves the adoption and integration of digital technologies to drive organizational growth, improve operations, and deliver enhanced value to customers.

However, many companies face obstacles in cultivating a DX culture and developing human resources for effective implementation. The lack of alignment in mindset and culture between top management and business departments is identified as a major internal barrier. A true DX requires in-house capabilities, highlighting the importance of developing internal leaders who can design business processes across departments. Macnica, a key player in the DX field aim to advocate for the use of the latest technology platform low-code tools to involve individuals without coding knowledge in projects, fostering collaboration between business and IT departments.

Digital Transformation (DX) team is crucial in the modern business landscape to enhance business processes, improve efficiency, and foster innovation.
Macnica’s vision focuses on an “experience-first” approach, encouraging trial and error to address challenges in manufacturing sites. The company believes that in-house initiatives are crucial for the success of DX, allowing for greater speed, flexibility, and response to site-specific needs. Macnica recently introduced its Digital Synergy Factory-low-code development support service as a means to materialize its vision and accelerate manufacturing DX support services. The company has also welcomed a knowledgeable partner to further enhance its efforts in this domain.

Macnica’s decision to collaborates with its partner, Orangeleaf from Malaysia – the leading low-code expert, to provide comprehensive Digital Transformation (DX) consulting using low-code technology. Having successfully implemented over 100 DX projects in manufacturing, insurance, and retail across Europe, Singapore, and Malaysia, Orangeleaf Consulting focus is on empowering clients to drive their DX initiatives without lock-in contract. The support spans from long-term planning to agile application development, including information on cutting-edge technologies. Macnica and Orangeleaf aim to contribute to the advancement of DX in the Japanese manufacturing industry by leveraging best practices and offering holistic assistance in consulting, human resource development, and organizational building.

Orangeleaf impressed the “experience-first” using low-code tools with Macnica Employees 
Macnica had a challenge in their semiconductor business – it used to take 15 minutes for sales people to set delivery dates for certain customers using a mix of data from ERP and Excel. To solve this, Macnica teamed up with Orangeleaf to create a simple app using low-code technology. The amazing part? The whole process, from planning to using the improved system, only took 14 hours! Now, instead of 15 minutes each time, they get things done in just seconds. It worked so well that now more ideas for improving their business keep popping up.



About Macnica’s Smart Manufacturing Business
Macnica is also involved in DX support for the manufacturing industry based on the technological capabilities it has cultivated as a semiconductor trading company and its experience in implementing cutting-edge technologies such as AI and IoT. In the future, as DX accelerates in the manufacturing industry, security issues will also emerge. Macnica has also introduced the world’s most advanced technology in the field of security to Japan. Japan’s manufacturing industry faces a unique set of challenges. Macnica will strive to create new business opportunities and develop society by discovering issues together and promoting DX while staying close to customers’ concerns.
