Fundamentals of Corrosion Prevention and Monitoring (CS016F)

Fundamentals of Corrosion Prevention and Monitoring (CS016F)

8-Hour Expert-Led Online Course: Understanding Corrosion in Oil and Gas Pipelines

About the Course:

Led by ROSEN expert Dr. Jozef Soltis, this 8-hour live online course provides a comprehensive understanding of internal pipeline corrosion prevention and monitoring. Participants will learn about the electrochemistry of corrosion, key corrosion types, and mechanisms affecting pipelines, including CO2, H2S, and microbiologically influenced corrosion. The course covers practical strategies for corrosion prevention, control, and monitoring, equipping attendees to explain mitigation techniques and plan prevention measures under supervision.
