REAL TIME SUBSEA MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PIPELINES

摘要

A method for monitoring and maintaining a pipeline is shown which includes installing a monitoring system for measuring at least one parameter of interest, the monitoring system including various monitoring sensors placed at selected locations along the pipeline. A series of measurements are taken using the monitoring sensors in real time. The measurements are analyzed to identify anomalous conditions existing in the pipeline being monitored. An autoadaptive corrective action is implemented based upon the real time measurement of the parameter of interest.
