A LEAK GUARD SYSTEM FOR FLEXIBLE SUBMARINE OIL PIPELINES

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 1984 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / Using the actual Off-Shore-Technique large oil tankers do not call at ports but charge and
discharge their oil at terminals anchored as far as 30 km off the shore. Figure 1 shows such
a terminal as a floating buoy anchored to the seabed with a mooring tanker. Tanker and
buoy are connected by flexible floating hoses, buoy and seabed terminal by flexible
submarine hoses and seabed terminal with the shore station by steel pipelines. A control
system had to be developed that would give an early warning before leakage. No details
were given by the manufacturer or the users of the pipelines. Therefore a solution of the
telemetring problems had to be derived from an analysis of the growing leak and the Off-
Shore-System.
