Predicting internal corrosion in oil and gas exploration and production operations

This book is intended primarily for use by operators, inspectors, technologists, engineering companies, suppliers of equipment and anticorrosion solutions and those responsible for corrosion and erosion control in the sectors of exploration and production (upstream) of mineral oils, natural gas and Liquefied Natural Gas. This guide consists of four sections : Section 1, contextual presentation and objectives ; Section 2, definitions, standards ; Section 3, reminders on the feared damage mechanisms in the upstream sector ; Section 4, Prediction of Corrosion in Upstream Facilities.
Typical material selection and prevention solutions are provided. They are also reported and described on diagrams. These proposals are generic, should be considered as a guideline, and have to be confirmed or infirmed during detailed engineering studies.
