ABOUT THE COURSE
The course introduces the basic knowledge of materials corrosion and corrosion control solutions in oil and gas industry, focus on analyzing the root causes of material corrosion in difference environment, monitoring methods and prevention solutions of the internal and external corrosion.
The course includes practical examples occurring in Refinery plant, discussion and advice on the application of solutions to prevent corrosion by cathodic protection and coating, which are suitable with the actual operating situation of company provided by participants.

Part 2: Corrosion in Oil and Gas Pipeline
- Corrosion in Upstream Production Operations
- Cause of Corrosion in Upstream Environments (O2, CO2, H2S and sulfur compounds, strong acid, concentrated brine...)
- Corrosion type in Petroleum Production Operations
- Corrosion in Midstream Sector:
- Internal corrosion in carbon steel pipeline system (oil/ gas/ water pipelines)
- External corrosion in marine atmosphere; marine environment and Corrosion in soil
- Corrosion in Downstream Sector
- Form of Corrosion (Uniform Corrosion, Galvanic Corrosion, Crevice Corrosion, Pitting Corrosion, Intergranular Corrosion, Erosion – Corrosion, Stress Corrosion Cracking, Under-Deposit Corrosion, Acid Corrosion, Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion…)
- Factor influence Oilfield Corrosion:
- Free water/ oil/ gas composition
- Operating Condition Effect (Temperature, Pressure, Velocity…)
Part 3: The method of protection against pipeline corrosion
- Materials selection (for oil, gaslift, water injection pipelines and pipe drilling NKT; applicable standards are applied in the oil and gas industry)
