Abstract

Disclosed is a hydrocarbon leak detection cable that locates hydrocarbon leaks in oil pipelines, gas pipelines, oil and gas tanks, and other devices that store and transport hydrocarbons. Resistive sensor wires are used so that the location of the leak can be detected with a high degree of accuracy in an inexpensive and convenient matter. In addition, hydrocarbon leaks can be detected over long distances, which reduces the cost and provides reliability for detecting hydrocarbon leaks in hydrocarbon pipelines.
