Integral model of monitoring the oil-trunk pipelines in earthquake-prone regions

Long-term experience in operating the distributed technical systems (DTS) of main oil-pipeline class proves the low efficiency of transferring the means of monitoring designed for compact DTS. The authors suggest the integral model of prognostication and monitoring of DTS in real time without the need of major apparatus modernization. The model explains the fluctuations in the readings of "Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean" oil-trunk pipeline (ESPO-OTP) testing and recording apparatus, gives recommendations on their interpretation and management decision-making. According to its characteristics mentioned the model can be efficient for both management and service staff of ESPO-OTP.
