Determination of leakage in an oil and gas pipeline

Leaking pipes for oil and gas channel is a situation that can lead to a large problems. Among them, a massive explosion which could result in property damage, death or injury and thus involve high costs for repairing activities. Therefore, the first step in identifying any leaks is very important. T...
