DAY 2: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2021
0900 – 0930MORNING REFRESHMENTS
0930 – 0940OPENING ADDRESS
0940 – 1010VALUE ADDED PIPELINE APPS WITH HIGH FIDELITY FIBER OPTIC MONITORING & MACHINE LEARNING
- Distributed fiber optic sensing has been gaining significant momentum in pipeline industry adoption. The primarily application for this technology has been preventative leak detection
- High fidelity distributed sensing (HDS) uses a unique approach to interferometry which achieves very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Along with high SNR, HDS also provides integrated acoustics, temperature and strain/vibration, and is optimized to do so over long distances with provides no degradation of fidelity. The resulting sensing performance can be leveraged for other operational applications, which provides increased value over and above leak detection
1010 – 1040LEAK DETECTION FOR COMPLEX UPSTREAM OIL & GAS SYSTEMS USING MACHINE LEARNING
- Data analytics to develop optimal leak detection strategies for Oil & Gas pipeline systems
- Research and Development related to leak detection including multiphase flow
- Results from machine learning algorithm for upstream pipeline leak detection systems
1040 – 1110BENEFITS OF MACHINE LEARNING IN IMPLEMENTING CONTINUOUS LEAK DETECTION
- Machine Learning can enable leak detection with minimal instrumentation
- This Technology can handle traditionally complex operations like transient or intermittent flow
- Using ML to efficiently approximate the physics & hydraulics of individual liquid pipelines
- Modern computing can cut the time of implementation from months to weeks
