Corrosion Control and Cathodic Protection Systems

This course focuses on corrosion mechanisms in oil & gas infrastructure and the application of cathodic protection (CP) systems. It equips professionals with practical skills to assess corrosion risks, design CP systems, and implement monitoring and maintenance programs.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify types and causes of corrosion in pipelines and facilities.
• Select and apply appropriate corrosion control techniques.
• Design and operate cathodic protection systems (galvanic and impressed current).
• Monitor and troubleshoot CP systems using field instrumentation.
• Ensure compliance with corrosion control standards and improve asset lifespan.

1. Corrosion Mechanisms and Failure Modes in Oil & Gas
2. Corrosion Prevention Methods and Protective Coatings
3. Cathodic Protection Systems: Design and Installation
4. Field Testing, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting of CP Systems
5. Compliance Standards, Documentation, and Life-Cycle Optimization

Corrosion engineers, maintenance personnel, integrity specialists, and field operators involved in corrosion management and protection systems.

Field simulation labs, CP system design exercises, coating evaluations, and case study analysis.

Participants will be prepared to lead or support effective corrosion control programs, including cathodic protection design, operation, and compliance across oil & gas assets.
