Upstream Corrosion Control & Materials Selection
Upstream Corrosion Control & Materials Selection Training
Course Description
Corrosion is a critical challenge in upstream oil and gas operations, threatening asset integrity, safety, and profitability. This intensive 5‑day upstream corrosion control training course provides professionals with a complete understanding of corrosion fundamentals, materials selection, monitoring techniques, and mitigation strategies for hydrocarbon production and transportation.
Through interactive lectures, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will gain the expertise to design and manage effective corrosion control programs. The course also covers international codes and standards, including ISO 21457, NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, EEMUA 194, NACE TM0177, NACE TM0284, and API 6A.
By completion, attendees will confidently select appropriate materials of construction, apply prevention strategies, and ensure long‑term asset integrity across upstream facilities.
