Corrosion continues to be one of the most costly and difficult challenges for the oil and gas exploration sector. Whether it is an offshore platform, pipeline, refinery, or drilling rig, corrosion has a great impact on safety, efficiency, and profits. The Corrosion Control in Oil and Gas Exploration Industry Training Course, with the Imperial Corporate Training Institute, will assist industry professionals with proven, advanced, operational, and corporate-level corrosion management strategies. The full-course approach of this program centers on understanding corrosion mechanisms, using corrosion mitigations options, and improving corrosion monitoring systems to reliability and cost effectiveness.
The course is hands-on, corporate-focused, and not just abstract concepts about corrosion management. It includes strategic decision-making and practical implications around corrosion. Participants will learn about material selection, chemical inhibition, cathodic protection, coatings, and assessments of integrity in the reality of operational and financial aspects of the oil and gas industry. It is applicable to both upstream and downstream operations, reducing downtime, extending asset lives, and achieving return-on-investments.
Objectives
Upon completion of the Corrosion Control in Oil and Gas Exploration Industry Training Course, participants will be able to:
- Learn about the key types and mechanisms of corrosion that apply to oil and gas assets.
- Assess corrosion risks with a focus on exploration, drilling, production, and transportation systems.
- Create and execute corrosion control programs that reflect corporate performance and sustainability goals.
- Utilize appropriate inspection, testing, and monitoring diagnostics to support asset integrity and reliability.
- Choose effective materials, coatings, and inhibitors that respect the environment and operational use.
- Include corrosion management systems as part of the overall asset integrity and maintenance processes.
- Establish corrosion control budgets and complete cost and benefits to inform management decisions.
- Maintain and understand the requirements and standards of industry professional organizations like NACE, API, and ISO.
- Foster an eco-friendly corrosion management practice that is proactive and a part of corporate operations.
