# F&G Safety Opportunity MOC
AI opportunity in fire & gas safety for O&G. GCC Fire Safety market: $1.9B → $3.2B by 2034. Qatar NFE alone is $30B+, scaling from 77→142 mtpa LNG by 2030.
## The Problem Stack
Three high-value problems, ranked by $ impact:
### 1. [[False Alarm Problem in F&G]]
- O&G downtime: $149M/year per site (76% increase since 2019)
- Offshore: $220K/hour, avg 32 hrs/month unplanned = $84M/facility/year
- 1% downtime (3.65 days) = $5M+ annual loss
- AI reduces false alarms by 80% vs threshold systems
### 2. [[Predictive Maintenance in O&G]]
- 30-40% of O&G budgets go to maintenance
- Detecting bearing anomaly 18 days early prevents $700K loss
- Shell: AI found 65 control valves traditional methods missed
- BP: $10M annual savings from predictive systems
### 3. [[Compliance Automation in F&G]]
- Manual tracking across thousands of devices
- Fines, litigation, reputation damage from violations
- 15% insurance cost savings via AI risk assessments
- Qatar NFE needs largest CCS compliance in LNG industry
## The Moat
[[Multi-Modal Anomaly Detection]] is the defensible play:
- Computer vision + IoT sensor fusion
- Learns facility-specific "normal" signatures (steam vs smoke, flaring vs fire)
- Time-series anomaly detection on vibration, temperature, pressure, flow
- Auto-generates compliance reports for NFPA/OSHA/ISO audits
Revenue model: SaaS per facility + % of downtime prevented. Outcome-based pricing aligns with the $84M/year problem.
## Why Qatar/GCC
- **Scale**: NFE = 6 mega LNG trains, world's largest non-associated gas field
- **Greenfield**: New facilities adopt AI-native vs retrofit
- **Capex intensity**: F&G safety is non-negotiable CAPEX
- **Regulatory push**: GCC governments mandating advanced systems
- **Density**: Ras Laffan = concentrated facility cluster
