Description
The objective was to assess and define practical methods for immediate detection of leaks and recommend existing and future state-of-the-art practical measures for inspection, detection, and monitoring to minimize leaks from seafloor pipelines. A report was prepared that reviewed domestic and foreign pipeline inspection and leak monitoring methods and proposed existing or future measures necessary to have a reliable method to detect leaks in oil and gas pipelines.
Latest progress update
Complete. Information was presented to develop future programs involving the development of strategies, research efforts, and possible standards for minimizing and detecting leaks from seafloor pipelines.
