Atmos Pipe
Employs Atmos’ unique statistical volume balance method to provide an extremely reliable pipeline leak detection system that can detect both onset and existing leaks.
Having originally created Atmos Pipe for use at Shell, we have always understood the challenges of the oil industry.
High demand, optimum running standards and continually being in the public eye add pressures meaning that operating companies need to invest in the best technologies to ensure the safe and efficient running of their pipelines. Adding to this, regional legal requirements call for oil companies to install at least one leak detection system. While countries are susceptible to oil pipeline thefts.
Atmos systems meet the definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) related to oil spill response.
Our products provide valuable information about leak size, location and amount of oil lost when a leak occurs. We use a variety of field-tested methods including flow balance, negative pressure wave (NPW), model-based methods and pressure step to provide effective leak detection and location.

Proven technology in negative pressure wave leak (NPW) and theft detection.
Combining proven leak and theft detection methods for increased confidence under all conditions.
Alarms with a high level of reliability, providing the confidence to quickly shut-down a pipeline in the event of a rupture.
Many countries are susceptible to oil pipeline thefts and increasing pressure to minimise the thefts that happen. When the illegal tapping points occur it’s not only the financial impacts of the loss of products that’s a concern but the potential explosions that lead to loss of lives and homes. Reliable and sensitive theft detection is becoming ever more important in order to minimize product loss and limit the potential damages.
Proven technology in negative pressure wave leak (NPW) and theft detection.
Combining proven leak and theft detection methods for increased confidence under all conditions.
Combines fixed and portable hardware solutions to collect and analyze pipeline data which can then be used to locate a pipeline theft to within meters.
Atmos Simulation Suite provides valuable information for oil pipeline operators. Real-time batch and PIG tracking as well as detailed hydrocarbon tracking for NGL's or blended product pipelines. Additionally Atmos SIM provides Real Time Transient Model (RTTM) based leak detection and location using the same algorithms as Atmos' flagship leak detection system, Atmos Pipe.
The safe and efficient operation of a pipeline or network requires powerful decision support tools.
Models pipelines using real-time data from DCS and SCADA systems. It allows operators to respond quickly to changes in supply and demand, manage linepack, and gas quality.
The perfect tool for designers and flow assurance engineers, due to its wide range of functionality. It can reduce engineers workloads when designing pipelines, analysing new contracts, or determining reinforcement requirements to meet future demands.
Atmos SIM incorporates the statistical algorithms used by Atmos Pipe, used on over 1500 pipelines in 60 countries so that leaks can be detected and located quickly.
An additional module to Atmos SIM Offline, Surge Analysis automates some of the analysis procedures and produces a detailed surge analysis report.
Supporting API industry guidance by training pipeline operators in a safe and realistic environment that's configurable with any SCADA and HMI.
Increased public pressure and regulation means that oil pipeline operators are looking to the latest technology to ensure their pipelines are always operating at maximum efficiency. Our Operations Management tools provide operators with a full view of clear information helping them plan better.
Accurately tracks pigs (scrapers) in gas and liquid pipelines, providing accurate and up-to-date locations and estimated time of arrival to intermediate stations along the pipeline.
Atmos’ accurate batch-tracking tool, especially effective for long pipelines with large elevation changes and prominent vapor pockets.
A robust hydraulic profiler for safer and more efficient pipeline operations.
A powerful trending and distance-based profiling tool for real-time, historical and forecast data.
Connects to all pipeline and process control systems to ensure the smooth running of any online or offline applications.
We understand that not all pipelines are the same and once a project is complete, changes can occur in the pipeline. Our team of skilled engineers are experienced in supporting with leak and theft monitoring, troubleshooting, tuning, software upgrades and ‘health checks' of field instruments, SCADA systems and telecommunication systems.
Atmos provides on-going expertise to ensure pipelines and monitoring remain efficient and accurate at all times.
Due to the combined mixtures, multi-phase pipelines are more likely to have a reaction and cause corrosion which can lead to pipeline ruptures and leaks. Detecting these leaks quickly and locating them accurately is essential to protect the environment and minimize product losses.
Atmos has software installations on a number of multiphase pipelines transporting fluid combinations.
