Basic Corrosion Techniques & Monitoring



Introduction:


Corrosion problems have always presented a severe challenge to oil and gas producing operations. Operators plan for long periods of continuous production with maintenance schedules for the prescribed shutdown periods. Unfortunately, corrosion does not always respect these schedules, resulting in severe economic penalties due to loss of production. In addition, the risk of pollution and hazards to safety are other important reasons for adequate corrosion engineering. The course considers external protection using corrosion resistant materials, coatings, and cathodic protection. The importance of internal corrosion and its prevention will be examined with emphasis on material selection, coatings and use of corrosion inhibitors. The contribution of inspection (non-destructive testing), and corrosion monitoring to the overall operation will be considered in detail. Corrosion problems concerning risers and subsea-lines will be considered together with methods for protection 

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Gain an understanding of corrosion engineering in oil and gas production involving the various methods available for corrosion control
  • Recognize regulatory and safety matters
  • Understand the contribution of an integrated monitoring and inspection program for operations and diagnosis of problems
