Today, June 5 2018, together with our partner Solvex SA represented by Ivan Werthein, we held a productive meeting with TGS (Transportadora Gas del Sur), one of the two largest gas transportation companies in Argentina. The discussion dealt with modern data mining techniques aimed at the processing of varying natural risk factors associated with the pipeline using artificial intelligence, such as Artificial Neural Networks. The wonderful innovation of this method is in extracting the “old-industry” risk factors, such as soil movements, soil aggressiveness, thermal conductivity, etc. from the satellite data and then using them in conjunction with novel predictive algorithms to better manage the pipeline integrity. Terra is unique in this approach, and we appreciate TGS’s interest.
