Corrosion degradation continues to be a real threat to the petroleum, power, and any industries that uses metalic materials and equipment. It risks people’s lives and safety, assets integrity and the environment via loss of containment. These corrosion risks are normally mitigated by different measures and means such as selection of appropriate materials, chemical treatment, cathodic protection, protective coatings, and process control. In fact, the annual global cost of corrosion was estimated in 2013 to be around US$2.5 trillion (3.2% of 2013 global GDP). Of this amount, approximately 15-35% (i.e., US$375 to US$875 billion annually) can be avoided through proper corrosion controls management, corrosion protection and advanced mitigation technologies. The recent unstable oil market demand in the petroleum industry, the oil financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have pushed the operators to look for optimized, cost effective, early new technologies adoption and more reliable strategies of design and operation of assets.
New approach such as Corrosion Management (CM) along with Risk Based Inspection (RBI) are inseparable elements of an Integrity Management System (IMS). Digital integration of CM and RBI is vital for the optimization of an IMS. Several market available software programs are developed to deliver this integration by interlinking the modules in a digital setting. Additionally, real-time adoption will establish monitoring systems including Ultrasonic Test (UT) wall thickness monitoring, inspection drones, remote sensors, online probes, and remote monitoring unites (RMU) for cathodic protection (CP) which provides a continuous trend of the necessary data from critical systems and locations using wireless communication and visual correlation with other corrosion activity parameters. Market available software programs facilitate an integrated and holistic approach to corrosion, inspection, and integrity management. This shift will lead to decrease in the time required and resources involved in the CM and inspection activities, while fulfilling integrity assurance, maintaining ease of installation and future expansion. Signification cost reductions and optimizations can be achieved through data integration and correlations.
The timely deployment of new and advanced technologies to address corrosion will also lead to reduction in costs associated with corrosion and inspection. This is achieved by predicting and preventing equipment failures, improving the availability of plant and equipment, and optimizing inspection and monitoring methods.
