Pilot IoT Leak Detection System on Vermilion's Gathering Pipelines
FY 2020-21 · 2020-09-01
Summary
A significant portion of Alberta’s gathering pipeline base is composed of lines carrying emulsion water, salt water and liquid hydro carbons over short distances from oil wells to batteries and process plants. These pipelines are intertwined with multiple branch connections. There is currently a lack of cost-effective and efficient ways to detect pin-hole sized leaks on these pipelines.To address this problem, Vanmok has developed an IoT/Cloud based technology that could detect pin-hole leaks and would significantly reduce the environmental consequence of pipeline spills across the entire oil and gas industry. The main objective of this project is adaptation and implementation of Vanmok LD® Cloud on an Industrial gathering pipeline system.

Description
A significant portion of Alberta’s gathering pipeline base is composed of lines carrying emulsion water, salt water and liquid hydro carbons over short distances from oil wells to batteries and process plants. These pipelines are intertwined with multiple branch connections. There is currently a lack of cost-effective and efficient ways to detect pin-hole sized leaks on these pipelines.To address this problem, Vanmok has developed an IoT/Cloud based technology that could detect pin-hole leaks and would significantly reduce the environmental consequence of pipeline spills across the entire oil and gas industry.

Description (French)
Une partie importante de la base des canalisations de collecte de l'Alberta est composée de conduites transportant de l'eau en émulsion, de l'eau salée et des hydrocarbures liquides sur de courtes distances, depuis les puits de pétrole jusqu'aux batteries et aux usines de traitement. Ces canalisations sont entrelacées avec de multiples embranchements. On manque actuellement de moyens rentables et efficaces pour détecter les fuites de la taille d'un trou d'épingle sur ces canalisations. Pour remédier à ce problème, Vanmok a mis au point une technologie basée sur l'IdO/nuage qui pourrait détecter les fuites de la taille d'un trou d'épingle et qui réduirait considérablement les conséquences environnementales des déversements de gazoduc dans l'ensemble de l'industrie pétrolière et gazière. L'objectif principal de ce projet est l'adaptation et la mise en œuvre de Vanmok LD® Cloud sur un réseau de canalisations de collecte industrielles.
