Introduction

This course focuses on the principles, techniques, and best practices for controlling corrosion in the field, with particular emphasis on the oil and gas industry. Participants will learn about the causes of corrosion, methods of corrosion prevention, and the management of corrosion in pipelines, storage tanks, offshore structures, and other critical equipment. The course covers both the theoretical aspects of corrosion and practical solutions for controlling it, ensuring the longevity and safe operation of assets in corrosive environments.

Objective

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

Understand the causes and mechanisms of corrosion in oil and gas environments.
Learn about different types of corrosion and how they affect materials and equipment.
Explore various corrosion control techniques, including coatings, inhibitors, and cathodic protection.
Gain practical knowledge on inspecting and monitoring corrosion in the field.
Develop strategies for managing corrosion-related risks and improving asset integrity.

Audience

Engineers and technicians involved in corrosion management, materials selection, and asset integrity in the oil and gas industry.
Maintenance and operations personnel responsible for ensuring the durability and safety of equipment and pipelines.
Safety officers and corrosion specialists seeking to expand their knowledge of corrosion control methods.
Professionals in the petrochemical, offshore, and industrial sectors who deal with corrosion in harsh environments.
