Corrosion Management in Production/Processing Operations
This course examines the main causes of corrosion in upstream oil and gas operations and the methods used to monitor and control it. Participants learn what makes fluids corrosive, how to estimate corrosion rates from system chemistry and conditions, and how to choose materials and coatings. It closes with the principles of corrosion and integrity management systems.
