5 - CONCLUSION
This paper has presented a series of arguments that
support new, technology enabled method for
detecting small, pinhole hydrocarbon pipeline leaks
.
The limitations of the existing SCADA/CPM systems
highlight the opportunity to enhance the detection
of
leaks below 1000 bpd.. Synodon has demonstrated
its technologies ability at detecting these small l
eaks
down to roughly 4.5 bpd. Given this new capability,
a
pipeline operator can determine the optimal
surveillance frequency based on their unique risk
profile.
