  • Patent number: 12085483
    Abstract: A method of leak detection for oil and gas pipeline based on excitation response and system thereof includes: applying an active excitation signal (a pressure pulse directly input by human) or a passive excitation signal (a pressure fluctuation caused by opening and closing valves, etc.) to an oil and gas pipeline with existing leakage points, the excitation signal is reflected at the pipeline boundary and the leakage, and the reflected pressure wave continues to propagate to upstream and downstream, and finally is collected by the dynamic pressure transducer, then the existing leakage of the pipeline is detected and positioned by analyzing the transient response signal and the reflected pressure wave of leakage signal.

  • Patent number: 11162643
    Abstract: A single-point dual sensor-based leakage method and system for a gas-liquid stratified flow pipeline includes a single-point dual sensor-based leakage formula for a pipeline to be detected; installing two sensors at the same point of one end of the pipeline, a signal collected by the bottom sensor being an acoustic wave propagated by liquid in the pipeline, and a signal collected by the top sensor being an acoustic wave propagated by gas in the pipeline; processing the two acoustic waves to obtain a time difference; and substituting the acoustic velocity in a gas and the time difference into the single-point dual sensor-based leakage formula. The installation of sensors at two ends of a pipeline, avoids missing detection of leakage acoustic wave signals by a single sensor, reduces the number of installed sensors, and is low in cost, high in safety and strong in applicability to a gas-liquid stratified flow pipeline.
