A Complete Program for Corrosion Control in Gas, Oil & Water

Course Category : Oil & Gas Management

A comprehensive technical programme providing advanced knowledge of corrosion mechanisms, prevention, and monitoring to ensure asset integrity, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs across oil, gas, and water industries.
Duration: 10 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Corrosion control is a critical discipline within the oil, gas, and water industries. Failures in corrosion management lead to financial losses, environmental damage, and operational hazards. This complete programme empowers professionals with advanced corrosion science, materials engineering, cathodic protection, coating systems, and smart monitoring technologies.
By exploring real case studies and applying international standards (NACE, API, ISO), participants will design effective corrosion mitigation plans, perform failure analyses, and ensure sustainable integrity management within industrial facilities..
