This technical report provides considerations and recommendations for design, operation, maintenance, and training related to leak detection on multiphase subsea production gathering systems and gas injection systems. The scope is limited to methods using internal process sensors to detect leaks that are identifiable from process data. This report does not cover leak detection for umbilical systems, subsea trees (upstream of subsea choke), well downhole tubing, water injection systems, and export pipelines.
