... by pipeline. However, in the future, when these prospects are developed, there still may not be the onshore and/or offshore pipeline infrastructure in place to export hydrocarbons, or the cost of such infrastructure may be prohibitively expensive.

... Abstract The operation of remote offshore pipelines, particularly those under seasonal ice cover, may need a means of detecting potential leaks at any point along the pipeline and at any time. Potential leak cases of interest are pinhole leaks out of the bottom of the pipe due to corrosion...
