SeismicAI creates EEW for strategic gas facility

SeismicAI Creates a Customized Earthquake Warning System for Strategic Gas Facility

Customer

An energy company focused on the exploration, development, production, and supply of natural gas in Israel and the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Challenge

A strategic gas storage facility in Israel requires compliance with national regulations related to earthquake threats. The facility required an operational strategy that included complex processes for informed decision-making and risk reduction. One key challenge was to develop and implement a customized Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system that could provide precise alerts, with customized thresholds, thus safeguarding the facility and optimizing operational efficiency.

Objective

Protect the gas storage facility, prevent hazardous explosions, fires, leaks and environmental damage caused by earthquakes

Solution

SeismicAI installed its earthquake early warning system in the strategic gas storage facility. The seismic sensors are strategically placed, to ensure optimal performance. Alert thresholds were meticulously set through a detailed onboarding and customization process. When seismic events exceed these thresholds, manual alerts are sent via email, a preference chosen by the customer for operational control.

Description

The installation of SeismicAI’s sensors in the gas facility ensured highly accurate local alert capabilities, on top of the national seismic network. SeismicAI’s system was required for compliance with Israel’s regulation, which mandates seismic protection for gas storage facilities. SeismicAI performs ongoing maintenance and performance monitoring of the seismic sensors to ensure continuous and effective operation of the sensors, and of the facility. This collaboration highlights SeismicAI’s ability to deliver tailored, precise, and reliable solutions in complex and high-stakes environments.

Outcome

The strategic gas storage facility is now protected by an Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system, achieving compliance with national Israeli regulation. The system is configured according to customer-required thresholds, so it provides precise alerts only when needed, preventing unnecessary shutdowns and facilitating business continuity.
