Course Description

Introduction

The worldwide oil and gas business faces a challenge in maintaining its aged infrastructure, which includes subterranean pipes. One of the main factors ageing industrial facilities is corrosion. The operating costs of static equipment and pipes can be significantly decreased by comprehending its mechanism and learning how to control it.

In industry, one of the most used techniques for preventing corrosion is cathodic protection (CP). By using sacrificial anodes or applying an electric current, the Cathodic Protection technique prevents metal from corroding. This method has been around for 160 years and is widely used with excellent results in pipelines, tank farms, and other similar applications. Nevertheless, despite its extensive application and lengthy history, this technology is far too frequently used insufficiently or even incorrectly, leaving structures poorly protected or, worse, negatively impacted.

This five-day course on the Course N Carry Oil and Gas Exploration Sector's Cathodic Protection System will teach you the basic concepts, assessment, and applications of cathodic protection. It will also assist participants in identifying cathodic protection risks, choosing appropriate control measures, and implementing them to safeguard the organization's assets.

Goals

The following are the objectives of this Course N Carry training course: 

  • The knowledge and skills required to maintain and operate Cathodic Protection (CP) systems in oil and gas surface production facilities
  • Knowledge of galvanic and impressed current CP system applications and fundamentals of corrosion 
  • Knowledge of the field tools needed to keep an eye on CP systems and their operation
  • Knowledge of the different elements influencing these systems' performance
  • Discover the fundamentals of CP monitoring to guarantee efficient functioning.
  • Knowing how to cut costs associated with costly shutdowns and boost productivity would lower the overall cost of the corrosion control programme. 

Training Methodology

  • This training programme integrates appropriate standards, techniques, and sound engineering principles. 
  • There are interactive discussions inserted throughout every presentation.
  • Every lecture includes exercises, a case history, and a group discussion. 
  • Reviewing real major incidents and industry experience
  • Each student is given a multicoloured course handbook.
  • Images of actual situations as well as case studies are displayed.
  • There are videos displayed on the topic.
