![]() | The Oil-Stolen Orifice Detection project has completed its initial phase of pipeline inspection by IP PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY, marking a significant step in securing oil pipelines in the region. This critical project, covering a 50-kilometer pipeline with a 559 mm diameter, was launched on December 19, 2024, and completed by December 20, 2024.The primary objective of this inspection was to detect unauthorized oil extraction points, known as stolen orifices, which pose a major security threat to pipeline integrity utilizing specialized detection technologies, including the Oil-Stolen Orifice Detector, the project focused solely on identifying and locating illegal tapping points along the pipeline. |
This advanced detection system played a crucial role in pinpointing oil theft locations, ensuring rapid response measures to mitigate potential losses and prevent further unauthorized access. After analyzing the data obtained from the inspection, the team successfully identified theft holes along the pipeline, reinforcing the overall security and reliability of the pipeline network. With the successful completion of this phase, the project lays a solid foundation for further security improvements within the region’s pipeline infrastructure. This achievement highlights the importance of innovative detection technologies in combating oil theft and safeguarding critical energy transportation systems.
