Abstract: Pressure of fluid inside a pipeline are measured at one or more locations along the pipeline. Rates of pressure changes at the location(s) along the pipeline are determined using pressure measurements, moving average of the pressure measurements, and sampling intervals for the pressure measurements. Pressure change rate cumulative distribution function(s) are generated for the location(s) along the pipeline. The pressure change rate cumulative distribution function(s) are used to convert a rate of pressure change to a probability of a leak along the pipeline. The probabilities of leaks along the pipeline are used to monitor the pipeline for leaks.
