ABSTRACT 
The existing service that locates invasions along a petroleum pipeline, informs an intrusion or warns about a disaster on the 
Petroleum Pipeline and Telecommunication corridors by using data from the Rights of Way (ROW), which is a buffer zone on each 
side of a petroleum pipeline. This data is called Corridor Based Data (CBD). For many years, the ROW has been traced and 
monitored by using vehicles. Recently, remote sensing and sensors technology has helped key-persons to monitor the large 
boundaries and long corridor of the ROW, by using spatial information and sensors principle respectively. The truth is that 
scalability and performance of this method has not yet been widely practiced. A large interval of the data acquisition is the main 
weakness of space borne remote sensing methods. This is due to our need for continuous monitoring and also to make the existing 
service more useful. Using a concept for automotive assistance and just-in-time decision making helps overcome the limitations of 
existing methods. The conceptual result proposes an efficient approach to the algorithm of intrusion detection. This algorithm could 
be divided into two parts of object detection and motion field geo-coded methods. Ground based remote sensing on the other hand, 
considers unmanned monitoring of oil pipeline corridor based on the literature of the relevant domains including Context Aware 
Systems, remote sensing, general interaction and GIS. This paper organized as following conceptual statement. In section 1, it gives 
definition of monitoring pipeline corridor. Potential monitoring through remote sensing is described in section 2 and talks briefly 
about the pitfalls of implementations, theoretical framework, result and conclusion, are discussed in section 3, and 4 respectively.
