“…Several scholars have evaluated and investigated the buckling issue and recommended some results of corrective action. In the paper [7], the authors outline the safety issue of the subsea pipelines has a direct correlation with the identification of buckling of pipelines, corrosion and leakage. With such deformation, the authors emphasize that the industry related personnel should reconsider how to tackle such anomalies to minimize the financial consequences.…”

This work reports the development of inline inspection (ILI) methodology to enhance the pigging activity for the dented pipeline, facilitate the pigging process to prevent Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) from getting stuck and improve the safety passage for buckled pipelines. The recent report unveils the condition of the UNPIGGABLE pipelines, which reduce the inner diameter of pipelines to 257.51 mm, equivalent to 27.58 % of the initial diameter and restricts the pigging activity. In this report, the pull-through test coupled with the collapsibility test was conducted. The success of the test above allows the ILI equipment based on the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique to record the internal and external wall loss inwardly and geometric defect on diameter of the pipelines. The prepared artificial dented pipeline was made before it underwent several tests. Based on the pull-through test, the maximum force of 27000 N is more significant than the pipeline operating pressure to enable the MFL tool to pass through the pipelines despite exhibiting the geometry anomaly. Compressing the opposite magnetic yoke of the collapsibility test is critical, showing that the ILI MFL tool reaches its maximum compression of 242 mm. The value is lower than the minimum internal diameter of 257 mm. The ILI results show that the highest metal loss was achieved at 73 % at 15504 m at the bottom of the inspected pipelines. At the same time, the dented area reduces to more than 6 % of the pipelines’ nominal outer diameter and imposes the pipe’s integrity status to red. The distinctive result of the research can be used to model the future unprecedented pigging process when buckles appear in pipelines

“…In 2022, explosions occurred in the primary pipelines transporting natural gas from Russia to Europe, the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, severely affecting the energy supply in Europe, exacerbating the European energy crisis, and impacting regional politics [36]. As the lifeline of offshore oil and gas engineering [37], maintaining the integrity of pipelines becomes an area of increasing relevance [38] The length of submarine pipelines is generally measured in kilometers, and the length of some longer submarine pipelines can reach tens of kilometers, making it quite difficult to inspect for damage. For submarine pipelines that have already leaked, remote sensing, the negative pressure wave method, the subsonic wave method, and the Transient Test-Based Techniques (TTBTs) can be used for leak detection and localization [39,40].…”

However, corresponding to this, the maintenance cost of subsea pipelines is also extremely high [25].…”

Offshore oil and gas resources play a crucial role in supplementing the energy needs of human society. The crisscrossing subsea pipeline network, which serves as vital infrastructure for the storage and transportation of offshore oil and gas, requires regular inspection and maintenance to ensure safe operation and prevent ecological pollution. In-line inspection (ILI) techniques have been widely used in the detection and inspection of potential hazards within the pipeline network. This paper offers an overview of ILI techniques used in subsea pipelines, examining their advantages, limitations, applicable scenarios, and performance. It aims to provide valuable insights for the selection of ILI technologies in engineering and may be beneficial for those involved in pipeline integrity management and planning.

Leak detection and localization of liquid or gas is of great significance to avoid potential danger and reduce the waste of resources. Leak detection and localization methods are varied and uniquely suited to specific application scenarios. The existing methods are primarily applied to conventional pressurized pipelines and open areas, and there are few methods suitable for multi-grid spaces. In this paper, a gas diffusion model applied to multi-grid space is constructed, and a method for leak detection and localization using the concentration gradient of characteristic gas is proposed according to the prediction behavior. The Gaussian plume model is selected due to its advantages of simplicity and the interpretation of gas diffusion behavior is closer to reality; the expression of the improved model is also obtained. To verify the correctness of the model and the applicability of the localization method, taking the coolant leakage in the circuit system as an example, three experiments with different source strengths were repeated. The fitting correlation coefficients between the gas concentration data of the three experiments and the model are 0.995, 0.997 and 0.997, respectively. The experimental results show that the model has a strong correlation with the real plume behavior, and it is reasonable to use the gas concentration gradient for the localization of the leak source. This study provides a reference for future research on the leak detection and localization of gas- or liquid-containing volatile substances in a complex multi-grid space.
