Corrosion poses a significant threat to the infrastructure and operations of the oil and gas industry. The destructive nature of corrosion can compromise the integrity of equipment, pipelines, storage tanks, and other critical assets, leading to safety hazards, environmental risks, and financial losses.
This course will focus on identifying specific corrosion threats that are commonly encountered in the industry. Participants will learn about the various types of corrosion, such as uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and hydrogen-induced cracking. The course will also cover corrosive environments and factors that contribute to accelerated corrosion.
By the end of the course, participants will have a thorough understanding of corrosion threats in the oil and gas industry and other industry sectors, as well as the knowledge and skills necessary to develop effective corrosion management strategies and practices.
The course consists of 12hr of live sessions with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account. After the course you maintain 1-year unlimited access to the course, including any new course material. This allows you to perform modules again should you need to refresh your knowledge.

Results
After this course, you...
will have learned about different types of corrosion applicable to the oil and gas industry, such as uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, and understand the specific conditions that promote each type.
understand the various Corrosion Monitoring Techniques such as visual inspection, non-destructive testing methods, and chemical analysis and how these can be used in practice.
know how corrosion can be prevented or mitigated through material selection, coatings and linings, cathodic protection systems, and chemical inhibitors.
have seen a number of detailed case studies; to understand the causes of corrosion incidents, their consequences, and the lessons learned.
have the skills to play a proactive role in managing corrosion risks in your facility.
have enhanced your professional competence in materials science and engineering.
Who should attend this course
Those wanting to gain a comprehensive understanding of the corrosion mechanisms in oil and gas facilities:
Engineers and Technicians; Asset and Facility Managers
Inspection and Maintenance Personnel
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Professionals

Live sessions
This course consists of instructor-led group sessions, these group sessions can be Virtual or Onsite. During these sessions participants can ask questions to the instructor which are discussed, as well as questions submitted beforehand in the learning portal.
After each live session used slides and exercise documents are made available to participants on the learning portal. Please note that for privacy reasons no recordings of the live sessions are made or provided. You receive 1-year unlimited access to the online course material. This allows you to review content again if this is beneficial for your daily work activities and benefit from any material updates.
The live sessions are scheduled together with the customer and are private for their team only.
Typically the training course would be scheduled as:
Virtual: 4 sessions of 3 hours each
Onsite: 2 days of 6 hours
After the course participants receive 1-year unlimited access to the slides and exercise documents used within the sessions via the learning portal. This allows them to review material when required to refresh their knowledge for daily work activities.
A personal digital certificate will be made available to each participant upon full attendance.
