Course details

Corrosion is a significant issue in the oil and gas industry, leading to equipment failure, environmental hazards, and high maintenance costs. The Corrosion Mechanisms and Evaluation in the Oil and Gas Industry course is designed to equip engineers, maintenance personnel, and industry professionals with a thorough understanding of corrosion processes, preventive measures, and evaluation techniques. This course focuses on identifying various corrosion types, understanding their underlying mechanisms, and implementing strategies to mitigate their impact on oilfield equipment, pipelines, and production facilities.

Participants will learn about the root causes of corrosion in harsh environments such as deepwater drilling, high-pressure systems, and sour gas environments (H2S), as well as techniques to evaluate, monitor, and control corrosion using industry-standard methods.

The key objectives of the course are to:

Understand Corrosion Mechanisms: Explain the fundamental chemical and electrochemical processes that lead to corrosion in oil and gas operations.
Identify Corrosion Types: Teach participants to recognize and differentiate between various forms of corrosion (e.g., uniform, localized, galvanic, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking).
Evaluate Corrosion Risks: Enable participants to assess corrosion risks based on environmental and operational conditions such as temperature, pressure, water chemistry, and CO2/H2S content.
Implement Corrosion Prevention and Control: Provide strategies for corrosion control, including the use of coatings, inhibitors, cathodic protection, and material selection.
Corrosion Monitoring and Inspection: Learn to monitor and evaluate corrosion in pipelines and facilities using techniques like ultrasonic testing, corrosion coupons, and probes.
Understand Standards and Regulations: Familiarize participants with relevant standards (e.g., NACE, ISO) and safety regulations for managing corrosion in oil and gas operations.
Cost-Effectiveness and Safety: Focus on cost-effective corrosion control techniques that ensure safety, minimize environmental impact, and reduce the need for repairs or replacements.
