Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas pipeline safety technology, and in particular to a pipeline defect ground detection technology based on alternating electromagnetic excitation. Technical Background
[0002] Pipelines, as the primary means of transporting oil and gas energy, possess advantages such as high transport capacity and low operating costs, serving as a lifeline for ensuring national modern energy security. Long-distance oil and gas pipelines are numerous, extensive, and distributed across complex environments. Under the combined effects of internal pressure, temperature differences, soil loads, and the medium, they are highly susceptible to defects such as stress concentration and volume loss. Furthermore, they are prone to fracture failure under both internal and external loads, seriously threatening safe pipeline operation, leading to leaks, fractures, and significant economic and property losses. Therefore, regular pipeline inspections are necessary to monitor their safety status and ensure safe operation.
[0003] Existing methods for sensing pipeline safety status mainly include open-cut inspection, represented by ultrasonic stress testing, and trenchless inspection using magnetic flux leakage (MFL) internal detection. Open-cut inspection carries the risk of disturbing the geological structure of the target pipeline and inducing geological disasters. Internal detection requires a launch and receiver cylinder for support, and fixed inspection paths between stations cannot meet the specific inspection needs of certain risk sections. Furthermore, the operation of internal detectors is subject to specific operating conditions; pressure reduction and throttling operations decrease pipeline transport efficiency, resulting in economic losses. Non-contact magnetic sensing, with its advantages of being trenchless and not limited by pipe diameter or operating conditions, has become one of the main methods for inspecting buried pipelines.
[0004] However, geomagnetic excitation-based pipeline magnetic tomography (MTM) has the following drawbacks:
[0005] 1. Low signal strength and insufficient usability. The non-contact ground signals collected in actual detection are geomagnetically excited. Under large lift conditions, the signal attenuates severely in space, resulting in low signal strength.
[0006] 2. The detection signal is easily affected by the detection environment, making it impossible to quantitatively evaluate pipeline damage. In actual detection, there are interferences such as stray currents and geomagnetic field fluctuations, and the repeatability between different rounds is poor, making it impossible to quantitatively evaluate pipeline defect damage.
[0007] 3. Inability to identify defect types on the ground. Existing detection methods lack signal processing capabilities, and can only locate defects on the ground through signal fluctuations, failing to uncover the correlation between signals and defects, thus failing to identify pipeline defect types. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a ground-based pipeline defect detection technology based on alternating electromagnetic excitation. Leveraging the differences in metallographic and microstructural effects caused by stress at the defect location and corrosion products, the technology utilizes secondary excitation generated by alternating current at the defect location to enhance the ground-based detection signal strength. This represents a breakthrough from "weak excitation, weak signal" to "strong excitation, strong signal," providing technical support for the quantitative analysis of stress in circumferential welds.

[0031] S52. Based on the waveform (single-peak fluctuation, sinusoidal fluctuation) and signal coordination change characteristics between components of the electromagnetic signals compared in the early stage (different types of defects cause single or multiple signal changes), ground identification of pipeline defect types is achieved.
[0032] S53. Extract the maximum change value of a specific component or modulus of the electromagnetic signal according to the defect type, and obtain the degree of pipeline damage by referring to the initial pressure of the pipeline and using the pipeline damage degree F-value calculation model that considers the pipeline stress state.

[0057] The method for determining the optimal excitation frequency includes the following steps:
[0058] S21. Apply excitation current to the pipeline through the cathodic protection potential test pile, and apply arbitrary excitation frequency to the pipeline;
[0059] S22. Conduct pre-inspection of potentially risky pipe sections along the pipeline axis until an abnormal electromagnetic signal is detected, and the pipeline defect or damage is located.
[0060] S23. Adjust the frequency of the alternating excitation current and repeatedly detect the located defect location. Compare the amplitude of electromagnetic signal changes under different frequency conditions and select the excitation frequency with the largest amplitude change as the optimal excitation frequency. Through comparative experiments, it was found that the optimal excitation frequency for a 1016mm x 80 pipe is 62.1kHz.
[0061] Preferably, the electromagnetic signal in step 2 is obtained by differentially analyzing the induced intensity of the collected electromagnetic signal, aiming to eliminate background magnetic field strength interference through differential analysis. The electromagnetic signal is divided into G... ix G iy G iz Three components and modulus G i The formula for calculating the amplitude of the electromagnetic signal change is:
[0062] ΔG i =G imax -G iave (4)
[0063] In the formula, ΔG i G represents the amplitude of the electromagnetic signal change, in nT / m; imax The maximum value of the acquired defect electromagnetic signal is nT / m; G imax This represents the average value of the electromagnetic signal at the non-defect location.
[0064] S3. Calibrate the basic electromagnetic signal strength of the pipeline to be tested. The target pipe section diameter is 1016mm. Correct and calibrate the basic electromagnetic signal strength using a signal correction model.
[0065] The basic method for calibrating the strength of electromagnetic signals includes the following steps:
[0066] S31. Apply an excitation current to the pipeline through a cathodic protection potential test pile, with the current frequency being the optimal excitation current obtained from the test.

[0069] Preferably, the calculation formula for the electromagnetic signal height correction model is:
[0070] G ista =Gi / [1.489e -5.01h +0.122e -1.1429h (5)
[0071] where G ista is the electromagnetic signal intensity under standard height conditions, nT / m; G i is the electromagnetic signal intensity collected; f1(D), f1(D), k1, k2 are undetermined parameters related to the pipeline burial depth and wall thickness, obtained through burial depth test experiments; D is the pipeline diameter, m; h is the pipeline burial depth, m.

Therefore, this defect is a stress concentration defect. As shown in Figure 4 , sinusoidal fluctuations appear in the y and z components of the electromagnetic signal, and the x signal shows a "zigzag" characteristic. Therefore, the defect is metal loss;
[0076] S53. Extract the maximum change value of a specific component or modulus of the electromagnetic signal according to the defect type, refer to the initial pressure of the pipeline, and obtain the pipeline damage degree through the pipeline damage degree F value calculation model considering the pipeline stress state;

For stress concentration pipelines, use the z-component of the electromagnetic signal to evaluate the pipeline damage degree, and for metal loss pipelines, use the x-component of the electromagnetic signal to evaluate the pipeline damage degree;

[0083] In the formula, the electromagnetic signal change value ΔG istax is the x-component of the electromagnetic signal, nT / m,
[0084] Figure 3 In ΔG istaz the change amount is 4787 nT, so the calculated F value is 0.27, Figure 4 In ΔG istax the change amount is 230 nT, and the calculated F value is 0.55;
[0085] The pipeline defect damage degree and the maintenance and management method are as follows:
