Overview
This course provides focused training in practical corrosion prevention and monitoring. It addresses practical requirements encountered in pipelines, tanks, wells and processing equipment exposed to corrosive fluids. Participants explore the technical principles behind reliable decision-making and day-to-day execution. The learning experience uses relevant field examples, guided exercises and technical discussions. The program is intended for engineers, technical specialists, supervisors and related operational personnel. Content depth, case studies and delivery methods can be adapted to the client’s equipment, priorities and participant experience.
Objectives
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Explain electrochemical and process-related corrosion mechanisms.
- Identify corrosion threats in common oil and gas systems.
- Select monitoring and inspection techniques.
- Compare inhibitors, coatings and cathodic protection.
- Interpret corrosion-rate data and risk indicators.
- Design a practical mitigation and follow-up plan.
