Oil Search Limited Deploys and Successfully Tests Pipeline Leak Detection System from EnergySolutions
PipelineManager Accurately Detects and Locates Leaks in Controlled Tests
Houston, TX, June 10, 2008. Energy Solutions International, Inc., a world-leading supplier of software solutions that optimize operational and commercial performance of oil and gas pipelines, announced it has successfully deployed and tested its PipelineManager® software at Oil Search Limited, Papua New Guinea’s largest oil and gas producer.
In two tests, Oil Search received a leak warning within seconds of the pipeline valve being opened; a full alert was received within minutes. A precise location was determined within 10 minutes, to within 0.44 km for the slightly larger leak test and 0.67 km for the smaller leak test.
“We have determined that the PipelineManager leak detection functionality provided the sensitivity, robustness, reliability and accuracy sought after by Oil Search,” said Lara Kayess, Project Manager at Oil Search. “We are very pleased with the implementation and initial testing of the system. PipelineManager provides significant improvements over our previous rupture detection system.”
“Oil Search was experiencing an unacceptably high rate of false alarms with its custom-built system, and looked to us for a field-proven, commercial-off-the-shelf solution,” said Dr. Jo Webber, CEO of EnergySolutions. “PipelineManager meets their requirements for determining the severity and location of pipeline leaks without false alarms.”
A case study on the Oil Search implementation and leak detection testing is available for download.
