Abstract: Leak Detection efforts at pipeline companies are driven by the need of complying with government regulations and by the companies desire to be a safe and environmentally conscientious pipeline operator. The U.S. Department of Transportations Office of Pipeline Safety (DOT-OPS) regulates the transportation of hazardous liquids under the Code of Federal Regulations as legislated through the Pipeline Safety Act and its reauthorizations (49 CFR 195). In this regulation it is stated that An operator must have a means to detect leaks on its pipeline system. An operator must evaluate the capability of its leak detection means and modify, as necessary, to protect the high consequence area. Missing in this regulation is some standard for what is sufficient leak detection means for the high consequence area (HCA). Along with the DOT, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is requiring leak detection on systems offshore of the U.S.
