Total's fiber optic pipeline intrusion detection

摘要

An article in the latest edition of Total's Techno Hub magazine describes a new pipeline intrusion detection system (PIDS) that Total has deployed in what is described as a 'very dangerous' 320 km section of the pipeline that supplies the Balhaf Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal, Yemen. The line was experiencing frequent sabotage necessitating enhanced security measures including passive monitoring with a fiber optic cable.
