Analysis of Technical Difficulties in On-Line Monitoring of Crude Oil Pipeline Leakage in Onshore Oil Fields
[Purposes]Pipeline transportation is the main way of crude oil transportation in onshore oil fields.Because the pipeline is affected by many factors,it is of great practical significance to find the leakage in time for timely disposal and avoid safety and environmental protection problems.At present,there have been a lot of researches on pipeline leakage on-line monitoring technology at home and abroad,but there are still many problems in practical application.This paper aims to summarize and ana-lyze the difficulties in monitoring technology.[Methods]This paper firstly summarizes the current situa-tion of on-line monitoring technology of oil pipeline leakage in onshore oil field from two aspects of prin-ciple and field application effect.Then,according to all kinds of common technologies,five difficult prob-lems existing in the application are analyzed.[Findings]The root causes restricting the accuracy of pipe-line leakage monitoring are found out,and the solutions are proposed.[Conclusions]The research re-sults will help people to better understand the practical application of pipeline leakage monitoring tech-nology,and provide ideas and directions for the next research.
