Pipeline Leak Detection Services/Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM)

As the preeminent pipeline consultants in the industry, UTSI partners with pipeline operators to enhance and validate their Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM) programs, ensuring total system reliability. Our role in setting industry performance expectations is clear in our work on API 1155, which is foundational to API 1130, CPM for Liquid Pipelines. We also possess a strong understanding of API 1175 compliance frameworks. This commitment to defining best practices supports our unique credibility. This technical authority forms the base of our pipeline leak detection services.

We use high-fidelity simulation and transient analysis to predict and verify theoretical performance against actual operational data, as detailed in documents such as API 1149 (Pipeline Variable Uncertainties).

Our expertise allows us to expertly audit, recommend, and integrate optimal leak detection technologies based on flow characteristics (liquid, gas, multi-phase, slack-line) and operational envelopes. Our comprehensive pipeline system audit and engineering review provides the necessary insight to select and implement solutions that:

• Quantifiably Reduce False Positives: We have helped major crude oil operators reduce false alarms by over 60%. Enhancing operator confidence and minimizing costly, unnecessary shutdowns.
• Guarantee Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to strict rules in all areas
• Mitigate Environmental and Financial Exposure: Identifying small leaks promptly helps prevent major failures.
