• Abstract: The transfer of oil and gas resources towards high-risk and high-intensity directions has put forward higher environmental requirements for long-distance oil and gas pipelines, as well as higher demands for operation and maintenance efficiency and safety. Frequent, scattered, bloated and inefficient cleaning and detection operation processes are not conducive to the improvement of intelligent pipeline integrity management systems. This paper studies an intelligent maintenance system integrating cleaning, detection and data. This system is based on a modular concept, adopts multi-modal non-destructive testing technology and a highperformance and efficient edge computing framework, and is an intelligent system integrating structural adaptation, collaboration and data integration. Typical pipeline network field verification. This system has significant advantages in operation efficiency, defect detection accuracy, and data closed-loop management, and has good engineering promotion and application value. It provides a method and technical means for efficient, safe, and intelligent operation and maintenance of long-distance oil and gas pipelines.
