Abstract
The article discusses the statistics of accidents occurred as a result of illegal tapping or sabotage at the sections of the main oil pipeline. The authors analyzed existing methods for determining illegal tapping, revealed the need to develop such an advanced method for detecting tapping, which would combine several predominantly promising properties for the oil and gas industry. One of the main conditions for the development prospects is the environmental and economic feasibility of the development introduction. Significant advantages of the impulse reflectometry method are established, which consists in oil pipeline sounding, presented in the form of a two-wire electric line and detecting the wave resistance deviation at heterogeneous sections of oil pipeline. Various defects can present such deviations in comparison with the already existing control methods, which mainly depend on human factor during patrolling along the main oil pipelines.
