Fiber optic cable monitoring of pipeline leaks
FO monitoring systems can detect changes in temperature, strain, vibration, and leak location along the pipeline, and alert the operators in real time. DNV is a leader in verifying distributed fibre-optic sensing (DFOS) systems for pipeline leak detection. Detecting a pipeline leak quickly and effectively can be limited by a systems level of sensitivity, accuracy, reliability and robustness. FEBUS Optics provides a complete solution with a fully equipped cabinet for preventing and detecting leaks on pipelines, including the FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) or the FEBUS G1-R (DTS - Distributed Temperature Sensing) and FOPipe Suite, as software component. SLB's pipeline integrity monitoring systems—part of the Optiq™ fiber-optic solutions family—enable pipeline operators to perform accurate leak detection and pig tracking while protecting pipelines from third-party intrusions and detecting ground movements, such as earthquakes and subsidence.
