Harmonic Footprinting LLC. and its founder, Frank Masyada, have released Harmonic Footprinting and Thermal Cycling to monitor oil derricks, even in the middle of a hurricane such as Hurricane Gustov, or any tropical storm. For more detailed explanation, see Frank Masyada's website: http://www.harmonicfootprinting.com/
Gulf Coast refineries / oil rigs without Harmonic Footprinting have closed during Hurricane Gustov. At least 1.56 million barrels a day of oil production which equates to nearly 9.8 percent of the U.S. total domestic oil have been shutdown without monitorint during Hurricane Gustov. There are 7 refineries that have shut down, and 5 refineries reduced capacity output.
70 percent of the employees on these platforms and rigs in the Gulf are already evacuated, The U.S. Minerals Management Service reported that roughly 1.25 million barrels / day of oil, and 6.09 billion cubic feet of gas are closed. This equals more than 96% of offshore oil output and 82% of gas production. Sabine Pipe Line LLC that belongs to Chevon shut its pipelines.
The Gulf of Mexico is approximately 26% of all U.S. oil production and 14% of natural-gas output. The Gulf harvests 1.3 million barrels of oil daily with 7.4 billion cubic feet according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Houw can Harmonic Footprinting help during Hurricane Gustov?
Harmonic Footprinting LLC. and Frank Masyada, its founder, have developed Smart Sensors with sensor software that can analyze, determine and monitor the condition of oil derricks at risk of faulty performance as a result of Metal Fatigue.
Metals have a molecular structure that when experiencing environmental stimulants (hurricane, wind, snow), create a dominant resonant Frequency, a number of minor resonant Frequencies and Amplitude that can be graphically recorded. These Frequencies and Amplitudes are dependent on a number of factors such as the forming process, heat treatment and quench, machining, elemental exposure and other outside factors.
SmartSensors are positioned on metal joints throughout the oil rig. When the joint is struck by a stimulant, the resulting Amplitude is transmitted by the SmartSensor to be transmitted to the resident software database. This transmission gives a unique Harmonic Footprint for that particular metal joint.
Once an entire set of Harmonic Footprints is catalgoed, the oil rig is monitored 24/7, with new Footprints constantly being transmitted. Should new Footprints not match the cataloged Footprint (within an acceptable range), an alarm is sounded by the software displaying the precise location of the oil rig for manual inspection.
Oil Rig Assistance: How could Harmonic Footprinting offer assistance to refineries during Hurricane Gustov? Harmonic Footprints would have been available before, during, and immediately after Hurricane Gustov. Instead of having to wait until the storm passed by in order to manually inspect the refinery prior to placing it back online, rig operators would have known exactly what needed to be inspected and/or replaced, even before the hurricane finished.
