IN-SITU OFFSHORE PIPELINE MONITORING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Resumo

In-situ monitoring of submerged pipelines is an extremely important procedure since the
continuous monitoring of this system helps to avoid possible errors and allows better visualization of
a necessary solution. In this sense, the retro-analysis also shows a very fundamental method, which
consists in the observation and analysis of a real situation, already occurred. In this way, mistakes or
poorly adjusted parameters that prevent the success of the work, are more easily adjusted. This work
consists of a systematic review of free spanning pipelines in-situ monitoring. A systematic review of the
literature consists of investigating the state of the art of a subject or area, however against a common
literature review, systematic reviews have the purpose of being replicable, accurate and methodical.
Therefore, they are accomplished through the definition of a research question, a search strategy, the
establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria and the careful analysis of the material. In this sense, a
whole study on the chosen theme, as well as the definition of a search string is being elaborated to reach a
final amount of Works that represent the subject of this article. Thus, the careful analysis of the keywords,
abstracts, and introductions has been of great relevance in this phase of the research. Finally, through
the application of systematic review techniques, the most relevant works of the area were identified and
the construction of a bibliographic review was made possible. Hence, as a final result of this project,
it is intended to build a systematic review article that serves both to exercise this tool and to base other
studies that need a precise and in-depth knowledge regarding the subject in question.
