This course will cover the main causes of corrosion in upstream oil and gas operations, as well as monitoring and mitigation methods. The various corrosion mechanisms give rise to a number of different forms of corrosion damage which will all be considered. Participants will estimate the corrosivity of a given environment through analysis of the chemical and physical characteristics of the system. You will select materials and coatings for corrosion resistance for different conditions and applications, including the use of NACE MR0175. You will also conduct CP surveys, select the system type, estimate current requirements, and design simple cathodic protection systems. There will be opportunity to select and utilize corrosion inhibitors for different systems and you will learn how to select and apply corrosion monitoring techniques to create an integrated monitoring program. This course provides an appropriate balance of necessary theory and practical applications to solve/mitigate corrosion related problems.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
Lab Managers and Supervisors, Chemists and Technicians, Health & Safety and Environmental Professionals, staff responsible for managing hazardous wastes, Laboratory Technicians, Technologists, Analytical Laboratory Professionals, Laboratory Staff, Superintendents, Supervisors, Engineers, Chemists and Analysts, Auditors, anyone working in any analytical laboratory, Chemical Engineers, Health & Safety Professionals Instrument Engineers and Supervisors who work in laboratory, and operators who need to understand corrosion and its control management in oil and gas production and processing.
