Abstract

Pipeline transportation plays a vital role in the transportation of oil and gas. The safety monitoring of pipeline transportation is essential in pipeline operation. Distributed optical fiber sensing technology has more advantages than other conventional pipeline security monitoring method. The ability to measure temperatures and strain at thousands of points along a single fiber is particularly meaningful for the monitoring of pipeline transportation. This paper introduces the principle of distributed optical fiber sensing technology in temperature and strain measurement. DiTeSt (Distributed Temperature and Strain) monitoring system based on Brillouin scattering is used in the monitoring project of Andes pipeline and Italy Rimini gas pipeline for example to detect the geological hazard around pipeline and monitor the deformation and leakage of pipeline. The pipeline monitoring system has been well used in the safety monitoring project of high altitude and long distance pipeline transportation. It shows that DiTeSt(Distributed Temperature and Strain) monitoring system is capable of warning pipeline disasters, improving the efficiency of pipeline transportation safety monitoring, ensuring the normal pipeline transportation safety operation and reducing the property loss of operator.
