FAQs

FAQs

FAQs

Here’s what you need to know about our Custody Transfer leak detection offering

Why is leak detection at custody transfer points more challenging than on other pipelines?
icon

Custody transfer pipelines often involve shared ownership, limited data access, and heightened audit scrutiny. Operators may not have visibility into both ends of the line, and even small leaks can distort balances, trigger disputes, or raise compliance concerns. These conditions make traditional SCADA line balance systems unreliable or impractical in many custody transfer scenarios.

Can Pipewise detect leaks if I only have access to one side’s data?
icon

Yes. For one-sided or limited-data custody transfer lines, Pipewise can deploy the DPx system that doesn’t require dual-ended flow measurement. This allows operators to maintain independent leak detection and monitoring even when counterparties do not share meter data.

How does Pipewise support audit defensibility at custody transfer points?
icon

Pipewise systems are designed with audit readiness in mind. Detection logic, alarm criteria, and performance metrics are documented and aligned with industry standards. This provides operators with clear, defensible evidence showing how leaks are identified, evaluated, and escalated. Supporting regulatory reviews and commercial discussions.

How small of a leak can be detected on custody transfer pipelines?
icon

Detection sensitivity depends on available instrumentation and configuration. On well-instrumented custody transfer lines, Pipewise can detect leaks down to approximately 0.5% of flow within minutes. For one-sided or minimally instrumented lines, detection thresholds are approximately 1% of flow within minutes.

How does Pipewise help reduce false alarms and commercial disputes?
icon

Pipewise uses transient-aware analytics to separate real leaks from normal operational changes such as flow swings, tank movements, or meter noise. By reducing nuisance alarms and applying consistent detection logic, Pipewise helps operators avoid unnecessary shutdowns, reduce alarm fatigue, and support clearer, data-backed discussions with counterparties.
