Corrosion Control in Gas, Oil & Water

Mitigating & Controlling Corrosion Damage Mechanisms in Oil, Gas & Water

Course Overview

This Energy training course offers an in-depth understanding of corrosion, emphasizing the identification and analysis of metallurgical issues that arise in process units, as well as methods to monitor and reduce damage.

In the petrochemical and water industries, equipment costs are a significant investment, and for long-distance, large-diameter pipelines, these costs can skyrocket if corrosive fluids require the use of corrosion-resistant alloys instead of carbon steel. Gaining a better understanding of carbon steel corrosion and improving control methods can expand its use, offering substantial economic benefits.

Corrosion control is crucial in oil and gas operations. It involves applying engineering principles and practices to minimize corrosion to a manageable level in the most cost-effective way. Although complete elimination of corrosion is rarely feasible or economical, several methods are commonly employed to mitigate its impact.

Corrosion monitoring plays a vital role by providing early warning signals of potentially damaging conditions that could lead to corrosion-related failures. It also helps correlate changes in process parameters with their impact on corrosion levels. Effective corrosion monitoring is essential for assessing the service life of pipelines and determining the timing for necessary replacements or shutdowns.

This training course on Corrosion Control in Gas, Oil & Water will cover:

  • Metallurgical and material engineering properties
  • The economic impact of corrosion damage in various industries
  • Corrosion mechanisms specific to oil, gas, and water sectors
