• Scope of the presentation
• (Very brief) Oil and Gas Industry – Upstream
• What is corrosion ?
• Why does corrosion occur ?
• Some common types of corrosion
• Corrosion control and mitigation
Scope and setting the expectation
• Dealing with (low temperature) aqueous corrosion – (not high
temperature gaseous corrosion)
• Main scope is related to upstream oil and gas industry – not other
industry
• This presentation covers only very basic introduction and simplified
version. Many sources are available elsewhere (open source, books,
articles, videos, free webinars)
Introduction to Oil and Gas – and Upstream
Upstream:
• Exploration and
production of oil and gas
• Extracting hydrocarbon
from sub-surface
• Wellhead, drilling
locations, offshore
platform, gas and oil
processing facilities
• Pipeline, flowline, piping,
pressure vessels, heat
