This lecture describes various materials selection and corrosion control strategies for subsea oil and gas production systems. A brief discussion on carbon and low alloy steels as well as corrosion resistance alloys is presented alongside fundamental corrosion concepts.
Oil & Gas
The Gorgon Project – Subsea Production Systems
This post describes the Gorgon and Jansz field developments, two of the most complex engineering endeavors in offshore oil and gas history.
Corrosion behavior of buried pipeline in presence of AC stray current in a controlled environment (Paper no. C2015-5588)
This blog entry provides the link to download our final NACE CORROSION 2015 publication on corrosion of carbon steel in the presence of alternate currents (AC). Elmira Ghanbari presents a model, based on fundamental corrosion principles, which estimates the effect of an applied AC interference on Faradaic processes leading to corrosion.
