FIBER OPTIC PIPELINE MONITORING

Ensure the continuity of your operations with a robust, real-time fiber optic monitoring system.

Monitoring and Detection of Changes in Temperature, Deformations and Vibrations

We help integrity, maintenance, and operations managers in the oil and gas and mining sectors monitor and detect changes in temperature, deformations, and vibrations that could affect the integrity of their assets and facilities. With this system, you'll have real-time, remote information about your assets. This will increase safety and operational continuity, ensuring the safety of people and the environment.

Fiber Optic Pipeline Monitoring

Principles of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing

Laser light transmitted through an optical fiber experiences reflections, amplitude and phase variations, and polarization changes when an external disturbance is applied at any point. Our fiber optic monitoring system utilizes these properties to monitor changes in temperature, deformation, and vibrations that could affect assets and facilities.

System Instrumentation Modalities

Our fiber optic monitoring systems consist of four components: fiber optic system, interrogators, mounting system, and display peripherals.

Optical Fibers

Different types of optical fibers selected according to the parameter to be monitored and the environment where they will be installed.

Interrogators

Specific interrogator equipment for strain and temperature (DSS/DTS) and vibration (DAS/DVS) measurement with a variety of channels, resolutions, and ranges

Mounting

Possibility of mounting in 19’’ rack systems, both fixed and portable.
Autonomous and uninterruptible power systems

Visualization

Charon software for data acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization.
Connectivity with SCADAs and IoT systems.

Its multiple applications in the oil and gas industry

The secure and efficient management of critical infrastructures, such as pipelines and borders, is essential today. Our fiber optic monitoring systems offer an advanced solution that protects assets and optimizes their operation, ranging from early detection of suspicious activities to leak monitoring and damage assessment.

Activity Detection

By offering real-time monitoring of long assets, such as fences and borders. It allows for precise detection, classification, and localization of a range of activities, including people, vehicle movement, low-flying aircraft, among others.

Intrusion Monitoring

By offering intrusion and third-party right-of-way monitoring, operators are alerted to potentially dangerous activities occurring within the pipeline corridor, such as excavation, movement of vehicles and other large machinery, before contact is made with the pipeline.

Leak Detection

Integrating leak detection will not only improve incident reduction but also increase the effectiveness of response mechanisms by ensuring that manual pipeline inspection focuses on areas of actual activity.

Proximity Activities

By recording all activity in the vicinity of a pipeline before and after a widespread large-scale disturbance, such as a seismic event or earthquake, engineers can understand the resulting damage and whether asset integrity has been compromised.
