Who should attend
The annual losses due to corrosion and the cost of rectification run to several billion dollars in oil & gas exploration industries around the world.
High production under aggressive and extreme operational conditions necessitates the development of new materials which also have peculiar failure behaviours.
Thus, the industry operators are on continuous perusal with different corrosion management strategies. Yet unforeseen failures of top-side, sub-surface and sub-sea infrastructure due to corrosion not only entails in loss of production but loss of life as well.
The Successful corrosion management influences the economic outcome of the company by ensuring cost effective selection of materials, chemical treatments, coatings, cathodic protection systems and appropriate designs.
