Subsea Pipeline Failures & Corrosion Online Course

Pipelines are an essential part of the oil and gas industry as they are the main means of transportation. As the offshore technology advances, subsea pipelines are being operated in more demanding environments. For the pipelines to operate efficiently, they have to be carefully designed. One of the main threats to the integrity of the pipeline is corrosion, which has caused many failures. Corrosion in subsea pipelines has different forms and understanding their mechanisms is an important step in inhibiting them and decreasing their rate of occurrence. As corrosion is unavoidable, it is beneficial to be able to calculate the corrosion rate and the corrosion allowance. By obtaining the results of the corrosion rate it becomes clearer which type of group of steel to consider for the fabrication of the pipeline.

Subsea engineers battle harsh, corroding marine environments, as well as corrosive fluids that flow inside the pipeline, leaving pipelines extremely susceptible to damage. There are also many variables to consider when dissecting pipeline systems, such as differing installation processes, diameter and thickness of a pipeline, aging in hardware and materials failure. For instance, rigid pipelines are often made of carbon steel and are stiff and hard to install. In contrast, flexible pipelines are relatively easier and cheaper to install but difficult to maintain.
