Abstract

The central focus of this study revolves around the data processing of disturbances occurring in a metallic pipe that may be part of an oil pipeline. The main objective is to accurately discern whether a particular disturbance originates from a ""hit"" or drilling activity. To achieve this purpose, a meticulous analysis of the captured signals is conducted using both an HC05 module and an ESP32, both interconnected through a serial communication. The methodology followed in this work is based on comparing the amplitudes of the signals recorded under different scenarios. The HC05 module and the ESP32 are employed as capture devices to collect real-time data on disturbances in the metallic pipe. This data is transmitted through the router, which acts as a link between the capture devices and the analysis system. By comparing the amplitudes of the captured signals in both configurations (HC05 module and ESP32), a distinguishing criterion is established between disturbances caused by ""hits"" and those generated by drilling activities. This differentiation is based on distinctive amplitude patterns that arise in each type of disturbance. This comparison enables the detection of subtle differences and the assessment of specific features in the received signals. The analysis of signal amplitudes proves to be an efficient and accurate technique for classifying disturbances in the metallic pipe. The information gathered via the HC05 module and the ESP32 is thoroughly processed and evaluated to identify characteristic patterns associated with ""hits"" and disturbance from drilling activities. This classification of disturbances is crucial for making informed decisions in the management and maintenance of the metallic pipe, allowing for a swift response to potentially problematic situations. In summary, this work focuses on the data processing of disturbances in a metallic pipe with the goal of distinguishing between ""hits"" and drilling activities. The comparison of signal amplitudes received through an HC05 module and an ESP32, supported by meticulous analysis, provides an effective and precise method for identifying and classifying disturbances in the pipeline. This significantly contributes to making informed decisions in the management and maintenance of the pipe systems.
