Abstract: An in situ leakage detection system for protecting and monitoring buried non-metallic pipelines is provided. The system includes flexible composite mats arranged below and above the pipeline. Sensors, including, distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) are affixed to the pipe-facing mat surfaces and extend lengthwise along the pipeline. An optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) reading unit is configured to provide optical signals to the DOFS and analyze the returned optical signal. The OTDR unit can measure frequency and amplitude of anti-Stoke components of Raman scattering signals and a time-distance of the signals to detect localized changes in temperature along the pipeline. The system is further configured to detect leaks and determine a location of the leaks from the foregoing temperature changes and time-distance information. A method of installing and operating an in situ leakage detection system is also provided.

Abstract: To determine severity of stepwise cracking in a pressurized vessel, a computer system receives an image collection of an area of a circumferential wall of the vessel. The image collection includes images distributed across the area, and represent respective cracks on the wall within the area. From among the images, the computer system identifies subsets of images, each including images of adjacent cracks. For the at least two images in each subset, the computer system determines multiple distances, each between an end of an image in each subset and an end of each other image in a subset. Based on the determined multiple distances, the computer system determines a probability of a crack propagating through cracks in each subset. Based on the crack intensity path determined for each subset of the multiple subsets, the computer system determines an operation to be performed on the vessel.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented methods, media, and systems for automated hydrocarbon transport pipeline failure categorization using image recognition. One example method includes storing multiple pipeline images into an image library, where each pipeline image includes an image of a segment of one of multiple hydrocarbon transport pipelines, the image including one or more patterns of a failure associated with the segment, the failure is associated with one of multiple pipeline failure modes. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using the image library to categorize the multiple pipeline failure modes. An image of a pipeline is received, the pipeline includes a segment with a pipeline failure. The pipeline failure is categorized according to the multiple pipeline failure modes, by processing the image of the pipeline using the CNN. The categorized pipeline failure is provided for generation of a preliminary failure analysis report of the pipeline.

Abstract: A method for testing salt formation includes heating, by a first heater of an apparatus, an anion solution arranged in a first vessel of the apparatus to a first predetermined temperature and heating, by a second heater of the apparatus, a cation solution arranged in a second vessel of the apparatus to a second predetermined temperature. The method also includes conveying, by a fluid pump of the apparatus, a volume of the anion solution from the first vessel to the second vessel and simultaneously rotating a stirrer arranged in the second vessel to form a mixed solution. The method includes conveying the mixed solution from the second vessel of the apparatus to a sampler of the apparatus.

Abstract: A method for predicting locations at risk of internal corrosion is provided. The method includes performing a pipeline condition simulation that includes segmenting a flow line into segment based, at least in part, on pipeline attributes, running a hydraulics model to calculate flow parameters along the pipeline, and modeling corrosion rate based, at least in part, on results from the hydraulics model. Segments along the pipeline that are at risk of internal corrosion are identified.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) for protecting against external corrosion to the bottom, soil-side, surface of a storage tank is disclosed. The VCI delivery system can include a transport material buried underneath the tank and a carrier structure for containing the transport material. VCI can be supplied to the transport material from an external VCI storage tank and the supply regulated by a control valve. The transport material is configured to adaptively and controllably release VCI into the soil in response an external stimulus. The transport material can passively adjust the VCI release rate as a function of a stimulus including pH or soil potential. Additionally, a control system can monitor soil conditions and generate the stimulus that triggers the release of the VCI. Also disclosed are systems and methods for deploying the VCI delivery system under the tank using horizontal drilling techniques.
