Prioritizing data for pipeline leak detection
As industry challenges continue to grow, it’s never been more important to make maximum use of the data available for pipeline leak detection.
Crucial to this is the deployment of hardware that allows pipeline operators to access more data, resulting in a more effective leak detection system.
In this article, Sales and Senior Research Engineer Harry Smith discusses a range of hardware and software that can support a data driven approach to leak detection, from non-intrusive instrumentation to upgraded algorithms.
The following areas are covered in the article:
- Areas with no power or communications
- Case study 1: SEP Congo
- Case study 2: TotalEnergies Marketing Belgium
- Pipeline sections with limited space
- High consequence areas
- Cyber security restrictions
- Upgraded algorithms
