100km Pipeline Monitoring: Record Length For Intrusion And Leakage Detection
We demonstrate a record length of distributed acoustic fiber sen sing (DAS) for pipeline monitoring. Both intrusion (third party interference) and leakage can be detected. An ultra-sensitive architecture enables record length (100km for a single ended fiber sensing system or 200 km for sensing from both ends) detection while advanced classification capabilities minimize both false and nuisance alarms. Targets are localized (high resolution of few meters) and classified.
While conventional DAS fiber sensing is limited to 20 -50km, increasing the effective range to 100 km can significantly decrease the number of systems and number of stations needed for long range pipeline monitoring.

Pipeline Technology Journal 1/2020
Issue 1/2020 of ptj is a special edition for the ptc - Pipeline Technology Conference
For the first time the ptj will feature all papers from the Pipeline Technology Conference. This issue is therefore bigger than usual.
On its 137 pages this issue will discuss several topics. From data analysis of pipeline coating degradation, the use of vibroacustic technology right up to a improved analysis for subsea installations. This issue contains 16 papers from different companies.
