If you work in the oil and gas industry, then you know that corrosion is one of your worst enemies. Corrosion is caused inside as well as outside of piping, pipe fittings, tanks, and vessels. Energy industry leaders know that it is extremely important to protect their operations from corrosion.
Crude oil and raw gas from the wellhead contain impurities such as carbon dioxide, water, and toxic gases, which are a recipe for damaging corrosion to occur. External corrosion is caused by environmental impact and is even harder to combat for companies that have offshore operations, and have to deal with marine environmental influences.
Another area of the industry where corrosion is a challenge is in the LNG sector. If not protected, corrosion can lead to leaks, fires, and accidents as well as premature replacement of costly equipment. Many LNG facilities are made of stainless steel, which proses dangers because often times corrosion is not detected until there is a leak. Because of this reason, LNG facilities require regular inspections to look for corrosion.
