Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industry
Details :
The production of gas and oil is often
accompanied by water and acid gases, such as (H2S) and (CO2)
are often present in produced fluids. These increase the corrosivity of the
process, which can significantly impact the safe operating life of pipes and
equipment. Additionally, the build-up of corrosion and bacterial by-products on
the equipment walls can cause problems with the equipment’s operation.
The potential consequences of internal and
external corrosion represent both safety and economic concerns to various
sectors of the industry. Corrosion is fought by a complex system of monitoring,
preventative repairs and careful use of materials.
This intensive training course examines the
types of corrosion and corrosion control in the gas, oil and water industry and
provides an overview of specific process descriptions, and focuses on the
examination and identification of metallurgical problems in process units and
methods of corrosion monitoring, control and damage reduction.
This training course will feature:
- Fundamental corrosion principles and mechanisms
- Types of corrosion that are related to the oil,
gas and water
- Materials of Construction for process
applications
- Corrosion Monitoring and inspection Methods
- Aspects of Corrosion inspection and anti
corrosion management and mitigation
- Understand the basic principles of corrosion and
its mechanisms
- Learn about the different types of corrosion,
related to oil, gas and water
- Understand the application of corrosion
protection techniques including cathodic protection, coatings and
inhibitors
