Denny Bullard, Instructor at the Department of Petroleum Engineering and a 50 year member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers adds, “Using the LoRaWAN wireless, the data communications were measured at full strength back to the gateway even at distances beyond 500 feet.” Testing of Gas Activated Systems' range of cloud-based fugitive hydrocarbon detection tools has shown that the technology outperforms the industry-standard tools used in the sector. The testing, conducted by Texas Tech University's Petroleum Engineering Department, found that the company's systems offered faster detection times and more accurate flammability limit readings than the individual hand-held devices currently used throughout the industry. "The results are very encouraging," said Dr. John DeLong, director of the university's Center for Advanced Technology Assessment.
