The “Silent Failures” That Lead to Pipeline Leaks – And How to Catch Them.

Across upstream and midstream operations, some of the most damaging pipeline failures don’t start with a rupture or burst. They begin quietly – undetected pressure anomalies, minor instrumentation drift, transient flow conditions, or outdated assumptions embedded in control logic. These are the “silent failures” – systemic blind spots that build over time, erode situational awareness, […]

Why Waiting for Leaks is the Most Expensive Strategy

What’s the real cost of a leak you didn’t see coming? For many pipeline operators, leak detection remains an after-the-fact exercise, reacting only once alarms blare or product reaches the surface. But by then, it’s already too late. You’re looking at lost product, environmental damage, regulatory scrutiny, and emergency repair costs that can far exceed […]

The Physics Behind CPM Compensated Volume Balance Leak Detection Systems

Why Advanced CPM Systems Outperform Traditional Leak Detection with Science at Their Core. Introduction Pipeline leak detection has historically struggled to balance two conflicting demands: high sensitivity and low false alarms. Traditional SCADA-based line balance systems often fall short, prone to false positives during transient events or missing small but costly leaks entirely. Enter Compensated […]
