  • Magnetic pig positioning system and method
    Patent number: 11287492
    Abstract: A system for determining the position of a pig located inside a pipe including a magnetic field source attached to the pig; at least one magnetic field sensor provided on the outside of the pipe and configured to measure magnetic field parameters; and a processor configured to receive magnetic field parameters from the at least one magnetic field sensor and computing a position of the magnetic field source relative to a given reference position. The method includes: establishing a magnetic field representation of the magnetic field provided by the magnetic field source; in-situ measuring at least two magnetic field parameters outside the pipe with a magnetic field sensor at a measuring position relative to the reference position; computing the source position of the magnetic field source relative to the reference position based on data comprising the in-situ measured magnetic field parameters and the magnetic field representation.
