Flow Assurance & Pipeline Monitoring

Pipelines fail quietly first. Listen earlier.

Monitoring and simulation systems for pipelines and flowlines: hydraulic models, hydrate and blockage risk, and leak detection that flags deviations early. Grounded in published flow-assurance research on hydrates and multiphase flow, and delivery on $14–50B pipeline and LNG projects.

Keep product moving and find problems before they find you.

• Hydraulic & thermal modelling Steady-state and transient models of your lines: pressures, temperatures, slugging and turndown limits you can actually operate to.
• Leak detection Model-based and data-driven leak detection tuned to your line, balancing sensitivity against false alarms your operators will actually tolerate.
• Hydrate & blockage risk Hydrate formation risk tracked against live operating conditions, with warnings before the line finds its own way to tell you.
• Continuous condition monitoring Live monitoring against model expectations, so gradual changes like fouling, wax and instrument drift surface as trends, not surprises.
• Alarms worth waking up for Deviation alerting designed for control rooms: ranked, rate-limited and explained, not a wall of red.

FAQ

How fast can leaks be detected?

Detection speed and minimum detectable leak size depend on instrumentation and line dynamics. We model both up front, so you get honest numbers before committing.

Does this work with existing instrumentation?

Usually, yes. Model-based monitoring extracts a lot from standard pressure, temperature and flow measurements; discovery includes an instrumentation review.

Can it run alongside our existing SCADA?

Yes. It consumes historian and SCADA data read-only and feeds back displays and alerts; nothing sits in the control loop.
