Corrosion Protection for the Oil and Gas Industry: Pipelines, Subsea Equipment, and Structures is a comprehensive guide that delves into the critical aspects of corrosion prevention and mitigation in the oil and gas industry. It summarizes the primary causes of corrosion, including factors such as environmental conditions, chemical exposure, and operational practices. The book also outlines the stringent requirements for materials used in pipelines, subsea equipment, and structures to ensure their resistance to corrosion.

Selection of corrosion-resistant materials and coating materials is discussed in detail, encompassing various types of metals, alloys, and coatings. The advantages and limitations of each material are explored, as well as their appropriate applications and repair methods.

The book specifically focuses on the protection of steels against corrosion in aqueous environments, whether they are immersed in seawater or buried. It provides guidelines for designing cathodic protection systems, which are essential in preventing corrosion by neutralizing the electrochemical reactions that lead to metal degradation. Cathodic protection methods, materials, installation, and monitoring are reviewed in depth, with an emphasis on their effectiveness in protecting onshore pipelines, subsea pipelines, and other equipment and structures.

Two case studies are presented to illustrate the practical application of corrosion protection methods. Design examples are also provided to assist readers in understanding the principles and practices of corrosion protection. The authors' own experiences as pipeline integrity engineers add valuable insights and practical knowledge to the book.

Corrosion Protection for the Oil and Gas Industry: Pipelines, Subsea Equipment, and Structures is an essential resource for students, practicing engineers, and scientists seeking to gain a comprehensive understanding of corrosion protection in the oil and gas industry. It provides a solid foundation in corrosion science, engineering, and management, enabling readers to apply these principles to solve corrosion engineering problems effectively. By addressing the challenges posed by corrosion, this book contributes to the safety, reliability, and longevity of oil and gas infrastructure, ensuring the sustainable development of the industry.
