The aim of this report is to review current and emerging methods of detecting leaks in pipelines, in order to determine best practices in use today, and those with enough promise to justify further research and development. The motivation for such identification is a need for rapid detection of leaks of a hazardous or environmentally damaging nature in both onshore and offshore pipelines.
