Oil pipelines are monitored for corrosion on regular intervals using conventional tools. A real-time monitoring solution was developed to avoid spontaneous failures that may occur between inspection intervals using distributed fiber optic sensors which are intrinsically safe. The fiber consists of a silica core and a polymer cladding coated with a metal layer from the pipeline's construction which upon corrosion exposes it to hydrocarbons altering its refractive index. Intensity of a traveling pulse drops and is captured by reflectometry techniques. The system was simulated and a laboratory scale setup is being developed to validate the model and test the solution.
