Course overview

Why Attend

Corrosion is one of the leading causes of failures, leaks and unplanned shutdowns in oil and gas facilities. It affects pipelines, vessels, piping, tanks and offshore structures, with serious consequences for safety, environment and production.

This LLMI course provides a comprehensive understanding of corrosion mechanisms in oil and gas environments and the methods used to control them, including material selection, coatings, cathodic protection, chemical inhibition, monitoring and inspection. Participants learn how to build and manage a corrosion management system that integrates risk assessment, mitigation, monitoring and continuous improvement.

Case studies of real corrosion failures help participants recognise warning signs and apply effective prevention strategies.

Course Objectives

Explain corrosion mechanisms common in oil and gas operations

Identify corrosion threats such as CO2, H2S, microbial and erosion corrosion

Select materials and protective coatings appropriately

Apply cathodic protection and chemical inhibition

Plan corrosion monitoring and inspection programmes

Establish a corrosion management system and KPIs

Target Audience

Corrosion and materials engineers

Integrity and inspection engineers

Maintenance and operations engineers

Production chemists

HSE professionals

Asset managers in oil and gas facilities

Course Methodology

Technical presentations with real failure examples

Corrosion mechanism analysis exercises

Mitigation selection workshops

Monitoring data interpretation

Corrosion management system design
