DAS TECHNOLOGY
Pipelines and subsea installations
Pipeline Leak Detection:
• DAS can monitor long stretches of pipelines in real-time and detect acoustic disturbances caused by leaks and provide early warning and precise location information.
• This contributes to prevents environmental damages and maintain pipeline integrity.
Pipeline security and intrusion detection:
• DAS can act as a distributed security system along pipelines.
• It detects ground vibrations caused by unauthorized digging or tampering, sabotage like explosions and all kinds og intervention alerting operators to potential threats or intrusions.
Subsea structural health monitoring:
• DAS can monitor the integrity of subsea structures such as wellheads, risers and platforms.
• It detects vibrations, strain, and anomalies, ensuring safe operation and maintenance.
Subsea geohazard detection:
• DAS can identify geohazards such as landslide, subsidence, or fault movements near subsea installations.
• Early detection helps mitigate risks and ensures safety.
Flow assurance monitoring:
• DAS can monitor flow conditions within pipelines, detecting issues like wax buildup, hydrate formation, or slugging.
• Operators can take corrective actions to maintain efficient flow.
Pipelines and sub-sea installations are infrastructure which is critical to monitor. DAS-technology is perfectly suited to be deployed as a monitoring tool in these environments to continuously guard the installations for physical threats and possible sabotage.
