Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas pipeline defect detection, and in particular to an electromagnetic monitoring system and method for oil and gas pipeline defects. Background Art
[0002] The safety and reliability of oil and gas pipelines are crucial during their operation. However, they are often exposed to complex environmental conditions and multiple stress factors, making them prone to various defects and failures, such as corrosion, cracks, sediment accumulation, and fatigue cracks. If these defects are not discovered and addressed promptly, they can lead to serious leaks, resulting in environmental pollution and economic losses. Therefore, effective defect monitoring and assessment of oil and gas pipelines is particularly important.
[0003] Existing methods for defect detection in oil and gas pipelines primarily rely on electromagnetic testing. Electromagnetic methods such as eddy current testing and magnetic particle testing can effectively detect defects such as cracks and corrosion on pipeline interior walls. While these technologies can ensure pipeline safety to a certain extent, they have significant limitations in practical application.
[0004] First, traditional electromagnetic inspection technology primarily focuses on detecting defects on the inner wall of pipelines, but is relatively weak in detecting defects on the outer wall and joints. Factors such as vibration, displacement, and microbial corrosion on the outer wall of pipelines also significantly impact pipeline safety, but these factors are often overlooked in traditional electromagnetic inspection technology. This lack of monitoring of the outer wall of pipelines can lead to potential safety hazards being missed. Summary of the Invention

[0075] (3) Beneficial effects
[0076] The present invention provides an electromagnetic monitoring system and method for oil and gas pipeline defects, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0077] (1) The present invention performs preliminary screening through step three, which can effectively identify abnormal conditions of the medium flow rate, water content and inner wall temperature inside the pipeline. When an abnormality is found, the location of the inner wall defect is further determined by electromagnetic detection. This progressive screening method ensures accurate detection of defects on the inner wall of the pipeline. Compared with the traditional method of only performing electromagnetic detection on the inner wall of the pipeline, the present invention not only focuses on the defects of the inner wall of the pipeline, but also covers the monitoring of the environment and joints of the outer wall of the pipeline. By setting up multiple monitoring points, data such as outer wall vibration, displacement and microbial corrosion are systematically obtained, and sediment accumulation and fatigue cracks at the joints are monitored, thereby achieving comprehensive defect detection of oil and gas pipelines.
[0078] (2) When the pipeline vibration coefficient K exceeds the vibration threshold When an abnormal event is detected, the monitoring frequency of stress sensors, displacement sensors, and microbial sensors is increased, which helps to quickly identify and locate the problem and prevent potential damage from expanding. By increasing the frequency of sensor data collection, an abnormal situation in the pipeline can be responded to and handled more quickly.
[0079] (3) By calculating the first risk factor Fx1, collect the electromagnetic eddy current density Through comprehensive and accurate defect detection, the present invention reduces unnecessary downtime for maintenance, lowers maintenance costs, and improves pipeline operating efficiency. It can promptly detect and warn of potential safety hazards, provide targeted maintenance and repair strategies, and effectively improve the safety and reliability of oil and gas pipelines.
[0080] (4) For each region where the second and third strategies are generated, the second difference between the second risk factor Fx2 and the second risk threshold, as well as the third difference between the third risk factor Fx3 and the third risk threshold, are calculated. Prioritize each region from high to low according to the second and third differences, and implement the second or third strategy. Prioritizing high-risk regions can minimize the risk of pipeline accidents and ensure the safe operation of the pipeline system. Based on the ranking results of the second and third differences, maintenance and repair resources can be reasonably allocated, concentrating limited resources on resolving areas with higher risks.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0084] Example 1
[0085] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an electromagnetic monitoring method for oil and gas pipeline defects, comprising the following steps:
[0086] Step 1: Collect geographic, engineering, and design data related to the oil and gas pipeline, including the pipeline's topological structure and coordinate information, to establish a first visualization dataset. After preprocessing the first visualization dataset, use CAD software to create a three-dimensional model of the oil and gas pipeline. The three-dimensional model includes the pipeline's topological network structure and the pipeline's surrounding environment.
[0087] Step 2: Segment the three-dimensional model of the oil and gas pipeline into a topological network structure. For each area, determine its adjacent areas and connection relationships, establish a topological relationship diagram between regions, set a first pipeline monitoring point, a first pipeline inner wall electromagnetic monitoring point, a second pipeline middle monitoring point, and a third pipeline outer wall monitoring point in each area, and set a fourth connection monitoring point at the connection between each area and the adjacent area pipeline;
[0088] Step 3: Collect the flow rate Ls, water content Lh, and inner wall temperature wd of the medium inside the pipeline to construct a first risk coefficient Fx1. If the first risk coefficient Fx1 is higher than the first risk threshold, send a first warning instruction to the outside.
[0089] Step 4: When the first warning instruction is received, the electromagnetic monitoring information of the inner wall of the pipeline in the current risk area is collected through the electromagnetic eddy current detector, the electromagnetic field is numerically solved by the finite element method, and the electromagnetic eddy current density of the current risk area is constructed. After evaluation, the defect coordinates are determined and the first significant mark is made in the 3D model of the oil and gas pipeline;
[0090] Step 5: Continuously obtain the pipeline outer wall vibration, displacement, and microbial corrosion data collected from the third pipeline outer wall monitoring point in each area, construct a second risk factor Fx2, and evaluate the second risk factor Fx2 to obtain a second evaluation result and a second strategy;
[0091] Step 6: Collect sediment accumulation data and fatigue crack data at the connection through the fourth connection monitoring point, construct a third risk coefficient Fx3, and evaluate the third risk coefficient Fx3 to obtain a third evaluation result and a third strategy.
[0092] In this embodiment, the present invention performs preliminary screening through step three, which can effectively identify abnormal conditions of the medium flow rate, water content and inner wall temperature inside the pipeline. When an abnormality is found, the location of the inner wall defect is further determined by electromagnetic detection. This progressive screening method ensures the accurate detection of defects on the inner wall of the pipeline. Compared with the traditional method of only performing electromagnetic detection on the inner wall of the pipeline, the present invention not only focuses on the defects of the inner wall of the pipeline, but also covers the monitoring of the environment and joints of the outer wall of the pipeline. By setting up multiple monitoring points, data such as outer wall vibration, displacement and microbial corrosion are systematically obtained, and sediment accumulation and fatigue cracks at the joints are monitored to achieve comprehensive defect detection of oil and gas pipelines. Through multi-step risk factor assessment, the present invention can timely discover and warn potential safety hazards, provide targeted maintenance and repair strategies, and effectively improve the safety and reliability of oil and gas pipelines.
[0093] Example 2. This example is an explanation of Example 1. Specifically, the topological network structure includes pipeline segments, connectors, valves, brackets, and ancillary facilities. The three-dimensional model of the oil and gas pipeline obtained by modeling is presented as a visual image using visualization technology and graphic rendering methods. The visual image displays the internal and external structure of the pipeline, as well as various data information related to the pipeline.
[0094] In this example, CAD software and visualization technology are used to render the 3D model of the oil and gas pipeline into a visual image. This not only intuitively displays the internal and external structure of the pipeline, but also displays relevant data information, making the inspection results easier to analyze and understand, and improving data utilization efficiency.
[0095] Example 3: This example is explained in Example 1. Specifically, the first pipeline monitoring point includes a first pipeline inner wall electromagnetic monitoring point, a second pipeline middle monitoring point, and a third pipeline outer wall monitoring point.
[0096] The first pipeline inner wall electromagnetic monitoring point is used to install an electromagnetic eddy current detector and a magnetic resistance detector in the middle of the pipeline; and is used to monitor the integrity and defects of the pipeline inner wall.
[0097] The monitoring point in the middle of the second pipeline is used to install a temperature sensor, a water content sensor, and a flow rate sensor;
[0098] Install stress sensors, displacement sensors, vibration sensors and microbial sensors at the monitoring points on the outer wall of the third pipeline;
[0099] Stress sensor: initial monitoring frequency is 1Hz;
[0100] Displacement sensor: initial detection frequency 1Hz;
[0101] Vibration sensor: initial monitoring frequency 1Hz;
[0102] Microbial sensor: initial detection frequency 0.5Hz;
[0103] During the monitoring cycle, the vibration sensor first collects the pipeline vibration frequency zdpl, vibration amplitude zdfd and vibration acceleration sd. After dimensionless processing, the vibration rate V is generated using the following formula:
[0104] ;
[0105] Where, represents pi, expressed as 3.14159;
[0106] Then calculate the ratio of the vibration velocity V and the vibration acceleration, and generate the pipeline vibration coefficient K using the following formula:
[0107]
[0108] Assume that the vibration parameters of a pipeline are:
[0109] Vibration frequency (zdpl) = 50Hz;
[0110] Vibration amplitude (zdfd) = 0.01m;
[0111] Vibration acceleration value (sd) = 9.81m / s²; after dimensionless processing;
[0112] Step 1: Calculate the vibration velocity;
[0113] V=2π*50*0.01;
[0114] V=2*3.14159*50*0.01;
[0115] V ≈ 3.14 m / s;
[0116] Step 2: Calculate the vibration coefficient
[0117] K=3.14 / 9.8≈0.32;
[0118] Therefore, the vibration coefficient of the outer wall of the pipe is about 0.32.
[0119] The stress value wbyl of the outer wall of the pipeline, the displacement value wyz of the outer wall of the pipeline, the microbial concentration value wsnd per unit area of the outer wall of the pipeline, the microbial pH value and the redox unit yhhy of the corrosion environment are collected through the stress sensor, displacement sensor and microbial sensor;
[0120] When the pipeline vibration coefficient K exceeds the vibration threshold When an abnormal event occurs, the monitoring frequency of the stress sensor, displacement sensor and microbial sensor is increased to:
[0121] Stress sensor: detection frequency increased from 1Hz to 2Hz;
[0122] Displacement sensor: detection frequency increased from 1Hz to 2Hz;
[0123] Microbial sensor: Detection frequency increased from 0.5Hz to 1Hz.
[0124] In this embodiment, increasing the sensor monitoring frequency after an abnormal event can capture changes in pipeline status more promptly and accurately. This provides more intensive data, helping to quickly identify and locate problems and prevent potential damage from escalating. Increasing the sensor data collection frequency allows for a more swift response and handling of pipeline abnormalities, shortening fault detection and repair time, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs. After frequency adjustment, the increased sensor data provided can be comprehensively analyzed to obtain more comprehensive information on pipeline health, assisting in long-term maintenance planning and optimizing operational strategies.
[0125] Example 4: This example is an explanation of Example 1. Specifically, step 3 includes:
[0126] S31, using a flow velocity sensor at a monitoring point in the middle of the second pipeline to obtain the flow velocity Ls of the medium inside the pipeline in real time, using a water content sensor to obtain the water content Lh in real time, and using a temperature sensor to obtain the inner wall temperature wd in real time;
[0127] S32, after performing linear normalization processing on the flow rate Ls, water content Lh and inner wall temperature wd of the medium inside the pipeline, the corresponding data values are mapped in the interval Then, the first risk factor Fx1 is generated according to the following formula:
[0128]
[0129] Where, Indicates the flow rate value of the medium inside the pipeline during the i-th monitoring cycle; represents the water content in the i-th monitoring period, Indicates the internal temperature value of the pipeline during the i-th monitoring cycle, To measure the mean value of the flow rate of the medium inside the pipeline during each monitoring period, It is the average value of the water content inside the measured pipeline during the monitoring period; It is the average value of the internal temperature of the measured pipeline during the monitoring period; 、 and is the weight coefficient: and , , ,and ,in, , n is the number in the monitoring period, which is a positive integer greater than 1.
[0130] If cracks or holes appear in the pipeline, the medium may leak through the defects, causing the fluid pressure inside the pipeline to drop. Under the continuous action of equipment such as pumps, the flow rate in the pipeline may increase to compensate for the pressure loss. In this case, the local flow rate inside the pipeline may increase significantly, especially in the area near the defect. Pipeline defects can cause turbulence in the fluid flow, especially when the pipe wall is uneven or has protrusions. Fluctuations in flow rate will increase pressure fluctuations and mechanical stress inside the pipeline, which may further aggravate the expansion of defects. Pipeline defects (such as cracks or holes) make it easier for moisture from the external environment to enter the pipeline, especially in underground pipelines or humid environments. The increase in water content will aggravate the corrosion process inside the pipeline, especially electrochemical corrosion and microbial induced corrosion (MIC). Leakage at the defects will cause changes in the medium distribution inside the pipeline, and local moisture accumulation may form in certain areas. Leakage at the defects will cause changes in the flow characteristics of the medium in the pipeline, causing local temperature fluctuations. For example, changes in the flow velocity of the medium will affect convective heat transfer, thereby causing temperature changes;
[0131] S33, comparing and evaluating the first risk coefficient Fx1 with a first risk threshold;
[0132] If the first risk coefficient Fx1 is higher than the first risk threshold, it indicates that there are potential risks and abnormalities in the pipeline, indicating abnormal flow velocity, water content or inner wall temperature of the pipeline. This indirectly determines that corrosion, cracks or damage on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline have caused abnormal changes in medium flow velocity, water content or temperature. The current area is screened as a defective area and a first warning instruction is generated.
[0133] When the first risk coefficient Fx1 is not higher than the first risk threshold, it indicates that there is no abnormality in the pipeline and the current area is selected as a qualified area;
[0134] S34: After screening, the defective areas are subjected to step 4 for secondary detailed monitoring.
[0135] This embodiment provides a comprehensive method for assessing pipeline health by collecting and normalizing real-time data and calculating a first risk factor Fx1 based on the flow rate Ls, water content Lh, and inner wall temperature wd of the pipeline. Each parameter reflects a different aspect of the pipeline, and comprehensive analysis provides a more comprehensive understanding of the overall pipeline condition, enabling screening for defective areas. This allows monitoring and maintenance resources to be concentrated in high-risk areas, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of inspection and maintenance efforts.
[0136] Example 5: This example is an explanation of Example 1. Specifically, the electromagnetic eddy current density is calculated by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and Ohm's law. :
[0137]
[0138]
[0139] Where, It represents the conductivity of the conductor, which describes the conductor's ability to conduct current; E represents the electric field strength, represents the time derivative operator, which represents the rate of change with respect to time. A represents the magnetic vector potential, which is an auxiliary quantity describing the magnetic field distribution and has a relationship with the magnetic field intensity B. ∇× is the curl operator, which represents the curl of the vector field and represents the curl of the magnetic field intensity B.
[0140] When the electromagnetic eddy current density Greater than the preset threshold , it means that there is a defect in the current risk area, and according to the electromagnetic eddy current density The distribution position of the defect is determined, the defect coordinate position and defect area are determined, and the first significant mark is made in the three-dimensional model of the oil and gas pipeline.
[0141] In this embodiment, by calculating the electromagnetic eddy current density, the location of the defect in the pipeline can be accurately located. This helps to find and repair the defect in time and prevent accidents. Based on the distribution of the defects, the size and shape of the defects can be inferred and the area of the defects can be further determined. This helps to assess the severity and scope of the defects.
[0142] Example 6: This example is an explanation of Example 1. Specifically, step 5 includes:

Prioritizing high-risk areas can minimize the risk of pipeline accidents and ensure the safe operation of the pipeline system. Based on the sorting results of the second difference and the third difference, maintenance and repair resources can be reasonably allocated, and limited resources can be concentrated on resolving areas with higher risks. This can improve the efficiency of maintenance work and ensure the optimal utilization of resources. By prioritizing areas with higher risks, pipeline problems can be discovered and resolved in a timely manner to prevent further deterioration of the problems, thereby reducing maintenance costs. Timely maintenance and repair can prevent accidents caused by pipeline damage and avoid the huge losses caused by accidents.
