When Shale Gas Met Software: The Industrial Internet Will Monitor a Vast Pipeline Network
Getting shale gas out of the ground is one thing. But taking it to customers is quite another.
American pipeline operators are investing as much as $40 billion every year to maintain, modernize and expand their networks. The shale gas boom is putting operators under pressure to move more gas to market faster and more safely, and many U.S. pipelines have been in service for at least two decades.
Trawling for Big Insight in the ‘Industrial Data Lake’
Angling in the Data Lake: GE and Pivotal Pioneer New Approach to Industrial Data
The system, which has already tracked more than 3 million flights and gathered 340 terabytes of data, can analyze data 2,000 times faster than previous methods and cut costs tenfold. It is so powerful that it crunched through a complex task that would have taken a month to compute in just 20 minutes.

These 250,000-pound, 60-foot steel behemoths have to be regularly pulled up, inspected and serviced. As a rule of thumb, workers often replace as many as 20 percent of their parts to keep them safe, effectively rebuilding the entire machine every five years. “That’s one way to do it,” says Bob Judge, director of product management at GE Oil & Gas.
