Working in Houston with the Marsden Group, a technology company specialising in heavy industry, the team came up with the idea to use Lidar, a sensing method more associated with autonomous vehicles than drill floors. The death of an oil rig worker has led to the adoption of Lidar systems, reported Jessica Twentyman in the Financial Times. A new generation of sensors is being used by companies such as BP and Shell that can detect small leaks from pipelines or other sources of pollution.
