The purpose of this course is to provide the attendees with an overview of corrosion concerns in upstream production of Oil & Gas industries. It aims to identify and examine corrosion, metallurgical and materials failures that can occur in any process units within this industry. The attendees will have an opportunity to examine techniques and practices that can be used to control corrosion and enhance the integrity of the production plant. This course is designed for all disciplines engaged in the day to day operation of the plant. It includes, but not limited to, Corrosion and inspection engineers, Equipment, Process, Mechanical, Metallurgical Engineers, integrity managers, project engineers and all technologists who are involved with hydrocarbon production, processing, safety and commissioning. Management will also benefit by increasing their awareness of corrosion monitoring to maintain the plant in a safe mode. In addition, manufacturers of equipment, suppliers of materials to this industry and the procurement team engaged in the project will also benefit attending this course.

Objective

Develop a comprehensive understanding of Introduction to hydrocarbon production, Basic Corrosion , Types and Control measures, applicable to this industry
Impact of corrosion and type of corrosion damage in oil and gas production
Materials selection strategy and the types of materials used in petroleum industry by analysing the life cost approach.
Types of standards used in oil and gas production industry
Main types of corrosion and their perdition in petroleum industry covering
Understand the failure mechanism imposed by sour service and the methods to tackle the failure by understanding NACE MR0175/ISO 15156
Sweet and Atmospheric corrosion
Water injection corrosion
Materials selection and optimization in drilling, well completion, surface/topside facilities and pipelines
Whole life cost analysis
Corrosion mitigation methods i.e. Chemical injection, Coating, Cathodic Protection and design concerns

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.
Very useful Course Materials will be given.
