[0045] S1: Real-time acquisition of multi-source pipeline monitoring data during the operation of the oil and gas pipeline, and addition of a unified time stamp label to construct a time-synchronized multi-source monitoring data set, comprising:

[0046] Real-time acquisition of multi-source pipeline monitoring data during the operation of the oil and gas pipeline;

[0047] The multi-source pipeline monitoring data includes pipeline internal fluid transient flow rate data, fluid transient pressure data, oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect depth distribution data, and oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect geometry point cloud data. The pipeline internal fluid transient flow rate data refers to the instantaneous fluid flow rate measured by a flow rate sensor at different pipeline spatial positions during the operation of the oil and gas pipeline. The fluid transient pressure data refers to the pipeline internal fluid pressure measured by a pressure sensor installed on the inner wall of the pipeline in real time during the operation of the oil and gas pipeline. The oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect depth distribution data refers to the depth distribution of the corrosion pits or corrosion regions formed on the surface of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline due to the long-term corrosion of the oil and gas medium. For example, a high-precision ultrasonic sensor or an electromagnetic non-destructive testing device is used to scan and detect the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline, and the corrosion defect depth of the inner wall of the pipeline at different positions is collected in real time to form the corrosion defect depth distribution data. The point cloud data of the geometry of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect is the spatial geometry information of the corrosion pits or corrosion regions of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline collected in real time by a three-dimensional laser scanning device or a high-resolution optical measurement device, including the geometric size, spatial position coordinates and three-dimensional structure of the corrosion defect. For example, there are multiple corrosion pits on the inner wall of a certain pipe section of the oil and gas pipeline, and a high-resolution laser scanner is used to scan the corrosion pits to obtain the three-dimensional coordinate point cloud data set of each corrosion pit to accurately reflect the topographic features of the corrosion defect.

[0048] A uniform time stamp label is attached to each type of pipeline monitoring data to form multi-source pipeline monitoring data with uniform time markers.

[0049] The uniform time stamp label refers to recording accurate collection time information for each collection data point by using a high-precision time synchronization device at the same time when collecting each type of pipeline monitoring data. For example, the flow rate value measured by the flow rate data collection point at 14:01:00,000 milliseconds is 3.5 meters per second, which is recorded as "flow rate value 3.5 meters per second, collection time 14:01:00,000 milliseconds"; the depth value measured by the corrosion depth collection point at 14:01:00,005 milliseconds is 1.25 millimeters, which is recorded as "depth value 1.25 millimeters, collection time 14:01:00,005 milliseconds". Each type of data is uniformly marked by using the same time stamp recording method, thereby realizing the unified recording of the data in the time dimension.

[0050] Based on the multi-source pipeline monitoring data with uniform time markers, each type of pipeline monitoring data is time-synchronized according to the uniform time stamp label to generate a multi-source monitoring data set after time synchronization.

[0051] Time synchronization refers to using the unified timestamp label of each pipeline monitoring data to time-align each pipeline monitoring data according to the set unified time interval (such as 0.01 seconds). For example, under the unified time reference of 0.01 second interval, the interpolation, resampling or interpolation processing is respectively performed on the pipeline internal fluid transient flow rate data, the fluid transient pressure data, the oil and gas pipeline internal wall corrosion defect depth distribution data and the oil and gas pipeline internal wall corrosion defect geometry topography point cloud data to obtain the multi-source pipeline monitoring data with consistent time step at the same time point, and to form the time-synchronized multi-source monitoring data set with completely aligned data time.

[0052] S2: fluid disturbance frequency spectrum feature extraction and corrosion topography feature extraction are performed on the multi-source monitoring data set to generate fluid disturbance feature data and corrosion defect topography data, including:

[0053] The oil and gas pipeline internal fluid transient flow rate data and the fluid transient pressure data in the multi-source monitoring data set are subjected to frequency domain transformation to extract the fluid disturbance frequency spectrum distribution parameters and the disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters, and to generate the oil and gas pipeline internal fluid disturbance feature data;

[0054] The frequency domain transformation refers to using the Fourier transform method to convert the time-synchronized oil and gas pipeline internal fluid transient flow rate data and the fluid transient pressure data from the time domain numerical sequence to the frequency domain numerical sequence to extract the frequency features hidden in the pipeline internal fluid transient changes.

[0055] For example, the fluid transient flow rate data and the fluid transient pressure data measured by the flow rate sensor and the pressure sensor installed in a certain pipe section of the oil and gas pipeline for a length of 100 seconds are subjected to frequency domain analysis. First, the total of 10,000 data points obtained at a sampling interval of 0.01 seconds within 100 seconds are subjected to fast Fourier transform algorithm for numerical transformation to obtain the corresponding frequency spectrum results. By processing the frequency spectrum results, the disturbance characteristics of the oil and gas pipeline internal fluid at different frequency points can be identified, wherein the frequency spectrum analysis results are represented in the form of frequency spectrum graph.

[0056] The frequency spectrum graph can show the relationship between frequency distribution and amplitude size, wherein each frequency point corresponds to a disturbance intensity. For example, during the actual operation of a certain section of the oil and gas pipeline, it is found through frequency domain transformation that there are disturbance energy peaks at 0.2 Hz, 1.0 Hz and 5.0 Hz frequency points. The three frequency points are recorded as disturbance frequency spectrum distribution parameters, and the corresponding energy peaks are recorded as disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters, and then the disturbance frequency spectrum distribution parameters and the disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters are used to completely express the disturbance characteristic state of the pipeline internal fluid. The frequency spectrum distribution parameters and the disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters extracted from the collected pipeline internal fluid transient flow rate data and the fluid transient pressure data constitute the oil and gas pipeline internal fluid disturbance feature data.

[0057] The spatial geometry analysis is performed on the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect depth distribution data and the point cloud data of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect geometry to extract the depth feature parameters, the geometric shape feature parameters and the spatial distribution feature parameters of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect, and to generate the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect morphology data.

[0058] The spatial geometry analysis is performed on the spatial geometry analysis is performed on the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect depth distribution data and the point cloud data of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect geometry to extract the depth feature parameters, the geometric shape feature parameters and the spatial distribution feature parameters of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect, and to generate the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect morphology data.

[0059] For example, the corrosion pit area existing in a certain section of the oil and gas pipeline is analyzed, the different distribution conditions of the corrosion pit depth between 0.5 mm and 5 mm are measured by the ultrasonic detection equipment, and the corrosion defect depth distribution data are formed. The three-dimensional point cloud data of the corrosion area are collected by the three-dimensional laser scanner, including the three-dimensional spatial coordinates, the contour and the pit bottom shape information of the corrosion pit. The three-dimensional point cloud data and the corrosion depth data are processed by using the spatial geometry analysis method, such as fitting the corrosion pit contour by using the surface fitting method, and the geometric shape feature parameters of the corrosion pit are extracted from the fitting result, including the depth, the width, the length, the bottom radius or the taper angle of the corrosion pit.

[0060] The three-dimensional position distribution of the corrosion pit is quantitatively analyzed by using the spatial statistical analysis method to determine the spatial position distribution mode of the corrosion pit in the inner wall of the pipeline, such as the concentration parameters along the axial direction or the circumferential direction of the pipeline, the density or the sparsity of the corrosion defect area, etc. The parameters obtained by the three-dimensional geometry analysis include the depth feature parameters (such as the maximum depth of the corrosion pit is 5 mm, and the average depth is 2 mm), the geometric shape feature parameters (such as the average length of the corrosion pit is 20 mm, and the average width is 10 mm) and the spatial distribution feature parameters (such as the corrosion pit is distributed with an interval of 50 mm along the axial direction), which constitute the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect morphology data, and accurately describe the state of the corrosion pit in the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0061] S3: Based on the fluid disturbance feature data, the spatial distribution of the shear stress of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall is analyzed, and a shear stress intensity sequence is output, including:

[0062] Based on the fluid disturbance feature data in the oil and gas pipeline, the shear stress of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall at different spatial positions of the pipeline due to the fluid disturbance is calculated;

[0063] The fluid disturbance feature data of the oil and gas pipeline interior includes disturbance frequency spectrum distribution parameters and disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters. The disturbance frequency spectrum distribution parameters record multiple frequency values of the fluid disturbance phenomenon in the oil and gas pipeline interior; the disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters record the energy size of the fluid disturbance at the corresponding frequency points, and represent the fluid disturbance intensity. The fluid state in the pipeline interior is non-steady and non-uniform.

[0064] The shear stress generated by the fluid disturbance at different spatial positions of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall is calculated, and fluid mechanics methods are used for analysis and calculation. The fluid mechanics methods include finite element calculation methods, finite volume calculation methods and computational fluid dynamics analysis methods, etc. to calculate the tangential force, i.e. shear stress, formed on the surface of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall due to fluid disturbance. For example, taking a 50-meter long section of the oil and gas pipeline as an example, the pipeline section is divided into several calculation grids along the axial and circumferential directions, and the spatial resolution of each grid is 0.1m x 0.1m. In the fluid region near the pipeline inner wall, the disturbance frequency spectrum distribution parameters and the disturbance intensity spectrum distribution parameters are input into the computational fluid dynamics analysis software, the flow field model is established, and the simulation calculation is performed to obtain the shear stress generated by the fluid action on the pipeline inner wall at each spatial grid position, and thus the accurate shear stress spatial distribution is obtained. For example, the calculation results show that the shear stress generated by the fluid disturbance is 3.5 Pa at a distance of 20 meters from the pipeline inlet and at a circumferential position of 90°, and the shear stress is 4.2 Pa at a distance of 40 meters from the pipeline inlet and at a circumferential position of 270°. Through calculation, the shear stress of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall at all concerned positions can be obtained.

[0065] According to the shear stress generated by the fluid disturbance at different spatial positions of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall, the spatial distribution law of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall shear stress along the axial and circumferential directions of the pipeline is determined;

[0066] The spatial distribution law of the shear stress on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline refers to the variation trend and law of the shear stress on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline at different axial positions and circumferential positions of the pipeline. By performing spatial statistics and distribution law analysis on the shear stress on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline obtained through calculation, the variation trend of the shear stress along the length direction (axial direction) of the pipeline and the circumferential direction (circumferential direction) of the pipeline cross section can be obtained. Taking the axial direction as an example, the 50-meter length of the oil and gas pipeline is divided into an axial interval of 5 meters each, and the shear stress at all circumferential positions in each interval is averaged and counted to obtain an axial distribution curve. For example, the average shear stress in the first 5-meter interval is 2.5 pascals, the average shear stress in the next 5-meter interval is 3.2 pascals, and so on, until the end of the pipeline section. Similarly, the circumferential distribution law is obtained by dividing the pipeline circumference of 360° into several equal circumferential intervals (for example, an interval of 30° each), and averaging and counting the shear stress at all axial positions in each circumferential interval to obtain a circumferential distribution curve. For example, the average shear stress at the circumferential position of 0°-30° is 3.0 pascals, and the average shear stress at the circumferential position of 180°-210° is 4.1 pascals. In this way, the spatial distribution law of the shear stress on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline along the axial and circumferential directions is obtained.

[0067] According to the spatial distribution law of the shear stress on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline, the shear stress intensity on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline is time-sequentially counted to generate a shear stress intensity sequence on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline;

[0068] The shear stress intensity sequence on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline refers to a data sequence formed by arranging the shear stress intensity on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline in time sequence. Based on the spatial distribution law of the shear stress, key spatial positions with relatively large shear stress values are selected for time-sequential analysis, such as positions every 5 meters along the axial direction of the pipeline and corresponding circumferential key positions. By recording and counting the shear stress at these positions over a relatively long continuous monitoring time (for example, 1 hour), a data sequence of the shear stress intensity changing with time is generated. For example, at the axial position of 10 meters and the circumferential position of 90°, the shear stress is recorded at an interval of 1 second within 1 hour, and 3600 shear stress data points are obtained, which are arranged in sequence to form a shear stress intensity sequence. Similarly, at the axial position of 30 meters and the circumferential position of 270°, a corresponding shear stress intensity sequence can also be obtained.

[0069] S4: Based on the corrosion defect morphology data, the corrosion defect evolution model is used to predict the expansion rate of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline, and an evolution sequence of the corrosion defect is output, including:

[0070] Based on the corrosion defect morphology data on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline, the expansion rate of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline is calculated through the corrosion defect evolution model on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline;

[0071] The oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect morphology data is composed of corrosion defect depth characteristic parameters, corrosion defect geometric shape characteristic parameters and corrosion defect spatial distribution characteristic parameters. The corrosion defect depth characteristic parameters refer to the depth of a corrosion pit or a corrosion region, such as the maximum depth and the average depth; the corrosion defect geometric shape characteristic parameters include the length, the width, the pit bottom radius, the profile shape, the bottom taper angle and the like of the corrosion pit; and the corrosion defect spatial distribution characteristic parameters include the distribution position, the distribution interval and the distribution mode of the corrosion pit in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the pipeline.

[0072] The oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect evolution model refers to a mathematical model established based on the basic principles of the corrosion process, used to describe the expansion and evolution law of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline. The model is established based on the principles of electrochemical corrosion dynamics, material corrosion mechanism and the interaction process between the fluid and the pipe wall, and realizes the quantitative calculation of the corrosion defect expansion rate by establishing the mathematical relationship between the corrosion rate and the external environmental conditions (such as temperature, flow rate, fluid composition) and the internal material conditions (such as pipeline material, surface treatment process). For example, taking the pitting corrosion pit on the inner wall of the pipeline as an example, the corrosion defect evolution model can be based on the pitting corrosion kinetic equation, adopt the mathematical expression of the change of the pitting corrosion depth with time, combine the initial depth of the pit and the geometric size parameters of the pit measured in the corrosion defect morphology data, and obtain the expansion rate of the corrosion pit depth with time through calculation. For example, the depth of the corrosion pit is 2 millimeters at the initial measurement time, and the corrosion defect evolution model is calculated under the conditions of a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and a fluid flow rate of 3 meters per second, and the depth of the corrosion pit is increased by 0.02 millimeters per hour, that is, the corrosion defect expansion rate is 0.02 millimeters per hour.

[0073] According to the expansion rate of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect, the expansion trend of the oil and gas pipeline inner wall corrosion defect in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the pipeline is determined;

[0074] The axial and circumferential extension trend of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline refers to the extension law and trend of each corrosion defect in the spatial position, including the position where the corrosion defect has a faster extension speed, the position where the corrosion defect has a slower extension speed, the variation law of the extension speed, and the variation mode of the corrosion defect in the space. For example, taking the axial extension trend as an example, first, a certain length of 100 meters of the oil and gas pipeline is divided into multiple axial position intervals, and the length of each interval is 10 meters. The extension rate of all corrosion pits in each axial interval is statistically analyzed. Assuming that the average extension rate of the corrosion defect in the 0-10 meter interval is 0.015 millimeters per hour, the average extension rate in the 10-20 meter interval is 0.022 millimeters per hour, and so on, until the end of the pipeline section. By comparing the extension rates in different intervals, the axial extension trend of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the pipeline is determined, such as the trend that the extension rate gradually increases or decreases from the inlet to the outlet of the pipeline. Similarly, the circumferential extension trend can also be analyzed by segmenting and statistically analyzing the circumferential direction of the pipeline section. Assuming that the pipeline is divided into 8 equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and each circumferential interval is 45 degrees, the extension rate of the corrosion defect in each circumferential interval is counted, and the distribution of the corrosion extension rate in each circumferential interval is obtained, for example, the average extension rate in the 0-45 degree interval is 0.018 millimeters per hour, and the average extension rate in the 135-180 degree interval is 0.025 millimeters per hour, and then the circumferential corrosion defect extension trend is determined.

[0075] According to the axial and circumferential extension trend of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline, an evolution sequence of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline is generated;

[0076] The evolution sequence of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline refers to the time sequence data formed by recording and arranging the corrosion defect extension rate in a continuous time period at different spatial positions on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline according to the spatial extension trend of the corrosion defect. After determining the extension trend of the corrosion defect, a plurality of representative key corrosion positions (such as the axial positions of 20 meters, 50 meters, and 80 meters and their circumferential specific positions) are selected, and the extension of the corrosion defect at each position in a certain time range is continuously monitored and recorded. Taking the corrosion pit at the axial position of 20 meters as an example, the corrosion depth is recorded every 1 hour for a certain period of time (such as 100 consecutive hours), and 100 corrosion depth data points are obtained (such as an initial depth of 2 millimeters, a depth of 2.02 millimeters at the 1st hour, a depth of 2.04 millimeters at the 2nd hour, etc.), which are arranged in chronological order to form the evolution sequence of the corrosion defect at the spatial position. The same monitoring and data recording operation is performed for other key spatial positions of the pipeline to form a complete set of corrosion defect evolution sequence data. The corrosion defect evolution sequence data can intuitively represent the evolution process of the corrosion defect on the inner wall of the pipeline with time, and reflect the dynamic law of the corrosion defect extension.

[0077] S5: According to the shear stress intensity sequence and the corrosion defect evolution sequence, a scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation is constructed and iteratively solved, and a scour-corrosion coupling risk factor is output, including:

[0078] Based on the shear stress intensity sequence of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline and the corrosion defect evolution sequence of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline, a scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation is established;

[0079] The method for establishing the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation is that the shear stress intensity sequence of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline and the corrosion defect evolution sequence of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline are used as initial input data, the action mechanism of the fluid disturbance on the corrosion expansion of the pipeline inner wall is theoretically deduced, and thus a mathematical expression capable of describing the interaction relationship between the corrosion defect expansion of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline and the fluid disturbance in the pipeline is established. Specifically, the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation describes the direct influence of the shear stress intensity of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline on the corrosion pit expansion rate, and the counteraction relationship of the change of the corrosion pit depth on the change of the shear stress intensity of the inner wall of the pipeline. For example, the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation can be expressed as: the corrosion defect depth change rate is equal to the function relationship between the corrosion expansion rate under the action of shear stress and the corrosion defect morphology factor, wherein the corrosion defect morphology factor is determined by the characteristic parameters such as the depth, width and bottom shape of the corrosion pit, and the corrosion expansion rate under the action of shear stress is directly controlled by the shear stress intensity. The scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation also includes the influence of the change of the corrosion pit depth on the change of the shear stress intensity, that is, as the corrosion pit depth increases, the local flow field disturbance intensifies, so that the local shear stress intensity also changes, thereby forming a two-way coupling feedback relationship.

[0080] By iteratively solving the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation, a scour-corrosion coupling risk factor of the oil and gas pipeline is generated;

[0081] With the initial data of the sequence of the shear stress intensity on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline and the sequence of the corrosion defect evolution as the boundary conditions and initial conditions, the numerical calculation method is used to gradually approach the accurate solution of the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation. For example, the finite difference iteration method is used to discretize the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation, and the calculation is gradually performed at a certain time step (for example, 1 second per time step). By substituting the initial corrosion defect depth and the shear stress at the corresponding time into the scour-corrosion coupling feedback equation, the corrosion defect depth prediction value at the next time is first calculated, and then the corrosion defect depth prediction value is used as a condition to update the shear stress prediction value, and the calculation is gradually pushed forward, so as to perform the solution by iterative calculation. During the calculation process, the calculation step is adjusted according to the error calculated in the iteration process to ensure that the calculation result is accurate and stable. For example, at the initial time 0, the corrosion pit depth is 2 mm, and the local shear stress intensity is 3.5 Pa. The first iteration calculation obtains the corrosion pit depth of 2.000005 mm at the next second, and the corresponding shear stress intensity is updated to 3.5001 Pa. After continuous iteration, the stable and reliable corrosion defect depth prediction sequence and shear stress intensity prediction sequence are obtained.

[0082] The scour-corrosion coupling risk factor is a quantitative index generated by statistical analysis of the dynamic change relationship between the corrosion defect evolution sequence and the shear stress intensity sequence obtained by calculation after the iteration calculation is completed. The scour-corrosion coupling risk factor reflects the dynamic influence degree of the shear stress intensity on the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline on the corrosion defect expansion, that is, the quantitative relationship between the corrosion defect expansion rate and the shear stress change rate caused by fluid disturbance within a certain time. For example, in 100 hours of continuous monitoring and calculation, the depth expansion speed of the corrosion pit and the local shear stress change amplitude present a high positive correlation, and a numerical index is obtained through statistical analysis. The higher the index value, the greater the influence of the shear stress disturbance on the corrosion defect expansion rate, thereby reflecting the more serious scour-corrosion coupling failure risk of the oil and gas pipeline at the position. For example, the risk factor value is between 0 and 1, and when the value is close to 1, it indicates a high coupling failure risk, and when the value is close to 0, it indicates a low coupling failure risk.

[0083] S6: According to the scour-corrosion coupling risk factor and the ultimate design stress of the oil and gas pipeline, the operating risk index of the oil and gas pipeline is calculated, and the risk level of the oil and gas pipeline is output, including:

[0084] Based on the scour-corrosion coupling risk factor of the oil and gas pipeline and the ultimate design stress of the oil and gas pipeline, the strength checking calculation method is used to calculate the operating risk index of the oil and gas pipeline;

[0085] The limit design stress of the oil and gas pipeline refers to the maximum allowable stress level that the pipeline can withstand during the design stage of the oil and gas pipeline, which is determined according to the performance parameters of the pipeline material, the design working conditions, the safety margin, and the requirements of the standard specifications. The limit design stress is usually determined by reducing the yield strength or tensile strength of the selected pipeline material by a certain safety factor.

[0086] The strength checking calculation method refers to a calculation method that uses mechanical calculation methods to convert the scour-corrosion coupling risk factor into a pipeline wall thickness loss rate or an equivalent stress increase value, and compares it with the limit design stress of the oil and gas pipeline to determine the pipeline operation risk index. The strength checking calculation method includes pipeline wall thickness residual strength calculation method, stress concentration factor method, and finite element numerical analysis method, etc. Taking the pipeline wall thickness residual strength calculation method as an example, first, the pipeline wall thinning amount or wall thickness loss ratio caused by corrosion expansion of the inner wall of the pipeline is calculated using the scour-corrosion coupling risk factor; then, the stress is calculated based on the residual wall thickness of the pipeline and the internal pressure, axial load, and external load conditions. For example, the original wall thickness of the pipeline is 10 mm, and the wall thickness loss reaches 2 mm after a certain period of operation according to the corrosion pit expansion rate calculation, so the residual wall thickness of the pipeline is 8 mm. The circumferential stress value and the axial stress value of the pipeline wall at this time are calculated using the pipeline mechanics formula. The total stress level actually borne by the pipeline during operation is calculated using the stress superposition method or the maximum stress criterion. The actual operating stress level calculated is compared with the limit design stress of the oil and gas pipeline to obtain the operating risk index of the oil and gas pipeline.

[0087] For example, the actual total stress of the pipeline after strength checking calculation is 310 MPa, and the limit design stress of the pipeline is 413.3 MPa, so the operating risk index of the pipeline is defined as 310 divided by 413.3, and the operating risk index obtained is 0.75. The closer the risk index is to 1, the closer the actual stress borne by the oil and gas pipeline during operation is to the limit design stress level, indicating that the operating risk of the oil and gas pipeline is higher.

[0088] The operating risk index of the oil and gas pipeline is compared with the risk level division threshold to determine the risk level of the oil and gas pipeline.

[0089] The risk level division threshold refers to a set of numerical critical values or intervals that are preset for dividing the operating risk level of the oil and gas pipeline. The risk level division threshold is determined according to the operating safety standards of the oil and gas pipeline, national or industry regulations, and engineering practice experience, and usually includes safe, low risk, medium risk, and high risk. For example, the preset risk level division threshold is: when the operating risk index is between 0 and 0.4, it is safe; between 0.4 and 0.6, it is low risk; between 0.6 and 0.8, it is medium risk; and between 0.8 and 1, it is high risk.

[0090] The running risk index is compared with a preset risk level division threshold value to determine the risk level to which the pipeline belongs. For example, the oil and gas pipeline running risk index is 0.75, and compared with the preset risk level division threshold value, according to the preset threshold value, 0.75 is located in the interval between 0.6 and 0.8, and it is determined that the oil and gas pipeline running risk level is a medium risk level, indicating that the pipeline has a certain operation safety risk, which needs to be closely monitored, and corresponding measures are taken in maintenance to reduce the risk level.
