Must-have resources for pipeline protection

As stated in a recent Materials Performance article examining the trends in such incidents, ‘pipeline leaks and ruptures resulting from internal corrosion increase risks associated with health, safety, the environment, and deliverability, and can result in regulatory actions and litigation against pipeline operators.’

To address this concern, NACE International has released a collection of essential resources for oil industry professionals responsible for the protection of pipeline assets. The books convey decades of industry knowledge and know-how, providing practical tools to manage, prevent, and mitigate corrosion in the oil and gas industry.

Each book is available in paperback or as an e-book at NACE International’s online book store.

Featuring case studies, charts and graphs, and best practices for petroleum industry asset integrity managers seeking to improve their knowledge of corrosion, these books cover topics ranging from protective coatings to cathodic protection.

“I have witnessed numerous times how proper corrosion management applications have resulted in cost optimisations… and improved corrosion awareness and competencies,” said Ali Morshed, author of An Introduction to Asset Corrosion Management in the Oil and Gas Industry.

As the world’s pipeline infrastructure expands and ages, industry experts and regulatory bodies agree that effective integrity management can reduce dangerous pipeline failures – saving lives, reducing downtime, and optimising costs in the oil and gas industry.

Add these books to your technical library to learn how to protect your pipelines from corrosion:

CorrCompilation: Mechanism of CO2 Corrosion, Volume 1 & 2

Edited By Sudhakar Mahajanam
Dive deeper into carbon dioxide corrosion mechanism with this compilation, which covers the thermodynamics and kinetics of the corrosion process, iron carbonate scale formation, and what role the metallurgical and microstructural aspects of steel play. Part 2 of this compilation addresses how the metallurgical and microstructural aspects of the steel play a role in this corrosion mechanism.

Pipeline Coatings

By Y. Frank Cheng and Richard Norsworthy
These authors provide a history and description of various types of pipeline coatings; offer practical information on how to select, test, evaluate, and compare different coating systems; and discuss how coatings work with Cathodic Protection (CP)/CP shielding. This new title would be of particular interest to those who design pipeline or CP systems.
