About this course
Corrosion Control and Cathodic Protection gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of corrosion mechanisms in oil and gas and materials selection and coatings, then builds the skills to apply cathodic protection design and monitoring, corrosion inhibitors and chemical treatment and corrosion monitoring and data analysis in real work. Technical oil and gas training covering upstream, midstream and downstream operations, integrity and production for engineers and operators. One of our most requested courses.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Engineers, operators, supervisors and technical staff in upstream, midstream, refining and petrochemical operations. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
