Corrosion Management in Production/Processing Operations - PF-22 |
Discipline: Mechanical Engineering Level: Foundation Duration: 5 days Instructor(s): Carlos Palacios |
This comprehensive 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 learn about the different aspects that make fluid corrosive, what enhances corrosion rates, and how to estimate corrosion rates of a given environment through analysis of the chemical and physical characteristics of the system; review approaches to selecting materials and coatings for corrosion resistance for different conditions and applications (including the use of NACE MR0175/ISO 15156); and be introduced to cathodic protection systems and (CP) surveys, coating systems, and many other corrosion mitigation techniques. The participant will learn how to select and utilize corrosion inhibitors for different systems, and how to select and apply corrosion monitoring techniques to create an integrated monitoring program. The course content is based on a field facilities engineering point of view, as opposed to a more narrowly-specialized corrosion engineering or chemistry viewpoint. It provides an appropriate balance of necessary theory and practical applications to solve/mitigate corrosion-related problems. By the end of the course, work techniques to manage corrosion will have been presented: causes, assessment, identification, equipment integrity, and corrosion mitigation. In the June virtual session, course hours will be 08:00 - 12:00 Western Australia time (GMT + 8:00) Monday-Friday over the two week class period. In the October virtual session, course hours will be 08:00 - 12:00 US Central Daylight Time (GMT - 5:00) Monday-Friday over the two week class period.
