Corrosion and corrosion protection in petroleum engineering

Course objectives: Present the problems of corrosion in the oil industry and its impact on safety and the environment; Explain the theoretical basis of corrosion and its consequences; Present the factors that affect the corrosion rate and corrosion rate determination methods; Give an overview of modern methods of corrosion protection.

Course content: 

  • Theoretical bases of corrosion, what are the causes, what are the consequences - environmental impact and safety;
  • Corrosion problems in petroleum engineering - causes, consequences, types of corrosion, methods of protection;
  • Thermodynamics and kinetics of corrosion processes;
