Application of Automation Technology in Oil and Gas Pipeline Integrity Management

With fast construction of the oil and gas pipelines,there is a great need to detect,monitor,control and manage the petroleum pipeline,and to ensure the petroleum pipeline security and stability.The automation technology of oil and gas pipelines is one of critical steps during implementation of pipeline integrity management.In this paper,application of the automation technology such as SCADA and so on in the leakage monitoring,corrosion monitoring,and surge pressure protection of the pipelines was introduced.The safety and management efficiency can be improved by applying the automation technology in the gas storage and transportation engineering.At the mean time,the economic efficiency and working conditions can also be improved.
