Course Objectives
This training course is designed for engineers and operators engaged in oil and gas exploration industry requiring an understanding of corrosion fundamentals: the causes and control of corrosion in oil and gas production and processing. This training course will provide an overview of what corrosion is and what the major corrosion issues are in upstream oil and gas operations. The focus will be on understanding how materials corrode, what techniques are used to monitor corrosion and some basic corrosion control fundamentals. The participants will be introduced to inhibitors and how they work, corrosion monitoring in field applications and cathodic protection. The training course content is presented from a practical production operations viewpoint and provides participants with the basic skills and understanding to control and solve corrosion issues.
Target Audience
Personnel who are working in technical areas related to assets integrity management who deal directly or indirectly with corrosion monitoring and its control.
Target Competencies
Organisational Impact
The Company will achieve improved corrosion management system through the performance of an efficient corrosion control methods based on total life cycle corrosion economy.
Personal Impact
Participants will be more able to actively contribute towards reducing the probability of less unforeseen failures in overall corrosion control approaches.
Participants will enhance their competence and productivity thereby enhancing their competence and performance and making additional value added contributions to their organizations in the discipline of corrosion management systems.
