Monitoring and Forecasting of the Consequences of the Oil Products Discharge and Pumping Out During Real-Time Processes of Operation of a Horizontal Oil Pipeline

The authors proposed a method for predicting the consequences of oil product release to the surface of the earth when the horizontal pipeline is discharged based on an estimate of the volume of the pipeline discharge. While ensuring the safety of main oil pipelines, it is important to monitor leaks and emissions when pipeline integrity is violated. Before removing the defective area, oil products are discharged from the pipeline to ensure the safety of repair and recovery works. When modern repair and recovery technologies are implemented, one of the most important tasks is to determine the volume of the oil pipeline discharge and the time of repair work. The proposed method has been tested and can be used when estimating the volumes of leaks and discharge of pipelines.
