Abstract
An automated method of pipeline sensor integration for product mapping of a pipeline network is provided. The method includes acquiring, by a plurality of sensors of the pipeline network, first sensor responses of a pipeline in the pipeline network when a first hydrocarbon product is flowing through the pipeline. The method further includes using a prediction circuit to receive the acquired first sensor responses, integrate the received first sensor responses into one or more integrated first sensor responses in order to improve accuracy of the received first sensor responses, and identify the first hydrocarbon product in the pipeline based on the integrated first sensor responses. The prediction circuit is built from training data using a machine learning process. The training data includes first training sensor responses of the pipeline by the plurality of sensors acquired at a previous time when the first hydrocarbon product was flowing through the pipeline.
