Corrosion Scienc for Petroleum industry

Identify the forms and mechanisms of corrosion in the petroleum industry, including uniform and localized corrosion. Explore pitting, crevice, under-deposit, mesa, and weld-zone corrosion and their environmental effects.

Explore galvanic corrosion in oil and gas from dissimilar metals, emf differences, and concentration cells, and learn prevention via coatings, insulation, and cathodic protection.

Assess flow damage mechanisms causing metal loss through mechanical interaction, including erosion, impingement, and cavitation, driven by high velocity fluids and particulates.

Explore environmental assisted cracking in oil and gas, including hydrogen damage and sulfide stress cracking, and mitigation through alloys, cladding, post weld heat treatment, inhibitors, and coatings.

Explore corrosion control in oil and gas through direct and indirect monitoring methods, including intrusive corrosion coupons, electrical resistance probes, and non-intrusive techniques, to assess metal loss and inform actions.

Explore linear polarization resistance and other corrosion monitoring techniques, including intrusive and non-intrusive methods, electrochemical noise, electrical field mapping, ultrasonics, and relevant field analyses for oil and gas systems.

Learn design and operation mitigations, maintenance pigging, and chemical treatments to control corrosion in oil and gas, using coatings, cathodic protection, inhibitors, biocides, scavengers, with residual tests and coupons.

Explore cathodic protection in oil and gas, comparing galvanic sacrificial anodes and impressed current systems, their components, wiring, backfill, and the role of coatings with barrier, inhibitor, and galvanic effects.

Explore the corrosion management system for oil and gas, linking policies, risk management, and key performance indicators to optimize asset integrity and life-cycle costs via risk-based inspection.

Explore how a cohesion management system governs corrosion control across the oil and gas life cycle, from concept and design to startup, operation, and long-term evolution, including risk assessment.
