Abstract
Oil pipeline is a national vital object that is used to transport oil from wellhead to onshore production facilities (OPF). It supports oil and gas industry operation throughout the country that in turn used distribute energy to its citizen. However, more than often, old facilities were designed and kept in paper format that could easily get damaged or lost. To exasperate the problem, actual construction of the pipeline could slightly deviate from the original blue print. Thus, exact location of the oil pipeline becomes uncertain. It becomes important to know the exact location when the operator want to construct new facilities without damaging the older facilities. The challenge in this investigation is to mapped a pipeline that crosses a river. The paper illustrate how geophysical method could be well utilized to accurately pin point man-made object beneath the surface and water.
