FO monitoring systems can detect changes in temperature, strain, vibration, and leak location along the pipeline, and alert the operators in real time. DNV is a leader in verifying distributed fibre-optic sensing (DFOS) systems for pipeline leak detection. Detecting a pipeline leak quickly and effectively can be limited by a systems level of sensitivity, accuracy, reliability and robustness. FEBUS Optics provides a complete solution with a fully equipped cabinet for preventing and detecting leaks on pipelines, including the FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) or the FEBUS G1-R (DTS - Distributed Temperature Sensing) and FOPipe Suite, as software component. SLB's pipeline integrity monitoring systems—part of the Optiq™ fiber-optic solutions family—enable pipeline operators to perform accurate leak detection and pig tracking while protecting pipelines from third-party intrusions and detecting ground movements, such as earthquakes and subsidence.
