Most metals exist in nature as stable ores of oxides, carbonates or sulfides. Refining them, to make them useful, requires energy. Corrosion is simply nature’s way of reversing an unnatural process back to a lower energy state. Preventing corrosion is vital in every step in the production of Oil and Gas.
A prerequisite for safe operation is the understanding of how materials perform under normal operating conditions, as well as under unintended exposure.
Approximately 30 percent of the incidents and leaks that occur in offshore and onshore process facilities are related to corrosion and erosion. Corrosion management is therefore essential in order to maintain the integrity of the facility.
To achieve full control, all relevant data must be used, including data on process and production, corrosion and erosion as well as inspection and maintenance. The key to success is related to the complete management of all data available, achieving corrosion control and ensuring focus on high-risk items.
