... incorporates aspects of risk assessment (threat consequence, critical consequence area (CCA)), and their control through corrosion management. The objective should be achieved in the most cost-effective manner by designing for mitigation of corrosion, monitoring, inspection and risk-based inspection activities...

... ABSTRACT Microbial corrosion, a direct consequence of uncontrolled microbial activity, is one of the leading causes of pipeline failures in oil and gas industries, especially in non-scrapable pipelines such as flowlines and trunklines. With approximately 20% of corrosion challenges attributed...

... ABSTRACT Ceramic coating "A" is a unique disruptive technology for refining, chemical, and petrochemical critical applications, a game-changer for the industry to reduce OPEX and CAPEX. This Innovative and customized silica-based inert coating technology provides anti-fouling, anti-corrosion...

... movement that may apply load on the pipe. This protection system encourages the use of nonmetallic composite pipes that are primarily used to combat corrosion. This technology also protects coating on steel pipe to prevent corrosion. The method is granted as a US patent # 11,549,633 for Saudi Aramco...

... ABSTRACT Cathodic protection (CP) is widely used for protection of metallic structures from corrosion. However, an empirical approach during design and the limited coverage of CP monitoring activities can cause non-uniform potential distribution throughout the system which results in the local...

... ABSTRACT In the oil and gas industry top-of-the-line corrosion (TLC) has been the cause of numerous pipeline failures and continues to be one of the more challenging corrosion mechanisms to mitigate. Historically, attempts to mitigate top-of-the line corrosion in carbon steel pipelines using...

... ABSTRACT Corrosion management continues to be a worldwide challenge, stretching the capabilities of institutions across various fields around the globe. One such industry is the Oil & Gas which accounts for approximately 60% of the worldwide cost of corrosion that is estimated to be $2.5...

... ABSTRACT Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a type of corrosion affected by the activity of the microorganism. The attachment of microorganisms and biofilm adhesion are strongly related to the metal surface finish. This makes the influence of MIC more aggressive as the roughness...

.... This process becomes of high importance when trying to collect meaningful and representative pipeline information. The Success criteria of the integrity assessment highly depend on the quality of the data gathered, and the appropriate selection of significant variables in the corrosion mechanism. This approach...

... with opportunity crudes in refinery unit operations, a business imperative of crude blending and crude slate optimization, has meant that operators face substantial risk of corrosion damage in the crude distillation unit (CDU), vacuum distillation unit (VDU), associated equipment and side stream piping. Using...

... ABSTRACT Tubes of grade UNS S31603, N08904, N08825 and S32750 have been exposed to atmospheric corrosion conditions in coastal, marine environments. Two test sites have been used, one in temperate climate on the Swedish west coast and one in Florida (US), representing tropical environment...

... ABSTRACT This paper highlights the importance of implementing a robust corrosion management program for copper-nickel tubes in seawater applications. Although these alloys are known for their natural resistance to seawater corrosion, failures can occur due to various factors such as inadequate...

... ABSTRACT The gas producing operations involve large number of flowlines scattered over a huge geographical area. The corrosion issues in gas producing operations are complex and very challenging especially when operational upsets are encountered. In these sceneries, the effective corrosion...

... ABSTRACT The effect of flow velocity on corrosion inhibition of low carbon steel gas flowlines was investigated utilizing: corrosion inhibitor injection rates, OLGA 1 transient simulation model for water presence identification, historical operational data and in line inspection (ILI) data...

... ABSTRACT Abundance and diversity of microorganisms, including H 2 S-producing and corrosive bacteria, in the produced water collected from different locations at a Central Arabian Gas-Oil Separation Plant (GOSP) were examined by culture-based and culture-independent methods. Conventional MPN...
