Abstract Two-thirds of the gas fields in the Sichuan Basin contain acidic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, which causes corrosion morphology such as hydrogen bubbling, hydrogen induced cracking, stress corrosion cracking, and sulfide stress cracking inside pipelines, resulting in rapid pipeline perforation and an increased risk of pipeline accidents. Regular inspections of high sulfurnatural gas pipelines should be performed to ensure the inherent safety of the pipeline and to obtain a timely understanding of the operation status of the pipeline's inner wall. This summary discusses the benefits, drawbacks, and applications of five detection techniques: magnetic flux leakage, ultrasonic testing, electromagnetic acoustic transducers, eddy current testing, radiographic testing. Additionally, the on-site detection findings of three methods were presented, and the sensitivity and accuracy of several approaches were compared and assessed, providing solid data support for the integrity evaluation of high sulfur natural gas pipelines. Finally, based on the features of high sulfur natural gas pipelines, the selection of pipeline materials and the use of non-destructive testing techniques were addressed.
