LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM
A leak detection system includes a light source configured to output emitted light into a region of water, and a light detector configured to receive returned light from the region of the water and to output a detector signal indicative of the returned light. The leak detection system also includes at least one controller configured to detect hydrocarbons within the region of the water in response to detecting a hydrocarbon wavelength within the returned light, to determine at least one position of the hydrocarbons within the region of the water based on a time difference between a first time at which the emitted light is output from the light source and a second time at which the returned light at the hydrocarbon wavelength is received at the light detector, and to generate a three-dimensional model of a subsea structure based on the detector signal.

Method and apparatus for suppression of noise due to transmitted signal instability in a coherent fiber optical sensor system
A method for measuring a response from an optical fiber providing distributed back reflections using a system comprising an optical source comprising a laser, an optical receiver and a processing unit is disclosed. The method comprises establishing initial parameters of a distributed back-reflection processing. The method also comprises generating an interrogation signal and an optical local oscillator using the optical source, the interrogation signal being represented by an interrogation phasor and the optical local oscillator being represented by a local oscillator phasor; transmitting the interrogation signal into the optical fiber; and mixing the optical local oscillator with reflected light from the optical fiber and detecting a mixing product with the optical receiver to achieve a receiver output signal. The method further comprises performing a measurement that characterizes the interrogation phasor; updating the parameters of the distributed back-reflection processing based on the measurement result such that an effect of fluctuations in the interrogation phasor on the measured response from the fiber is reduced; and applying distributed back-reflection processing to the receiver output signal. Finally, the method comprises extracting the response from the optical fiber from the distributed back-reflection processing output. A system for measuring a response from an optical fiber providing distributed back reflections is also disclosed.
Pipe pressure testing method and apparatus
A sealing device is provided for use with a fitting. The fitting has circular port and a flow path with a longitudinal axis. A circular port encircles a portion of the flow path opposite the port with the sealing device inserted into the port. The sealing device has a circular top with two opposing surfaces depending therefrom but inclined so the surfaces are closer at the top. A continuous sidewall joins the periphery of the two surfaces. The opposing surfaces are inclined and spaced apart further at the top than at an end opposite the top. A cylindrical hole through the opposing surfaces encircles the flow path during use.
