Development of Pipeline Leak Detection Technologies

Abstract

New development continues in pipeline leak detection technologies in order to meet the increasing demand of the oil, gas, chemical and water industry. After a review of the available technologies, this paper discusses the advances made in two key technologies: statistical volume balance and negative pressure wave.</jats:p> <jats:p>Some application examples in brine, multi-product and crude oil pipelines are presented to demonstrate the improvement in leak detection sensitivity and location accuracy.
