Minerals Management Service |
| Estimated Completion |
Complete |
| Description |
The objective was to
assess and define practical methods for immediate detection of leaks and recommend
existing and future state-of-the-art practical measures for inspection, detection, and
monitoring to minimize leaks from seafloor pipelines. A report was prepared that reviewed
domestic and foreign pipeline inspection and leak monitoring methods and proposed existing
or future measures necessary to have a reliable method to detect leaks in oil and gas
pipelines. |
| Progress |
Complete. Information
was presented to develop future programs involving the development of strategies, research
efforts, and possible standards for minimizing and detecting leaks from seafloor
pipelines. |
