The sweet corrosion profiles of X-52 carbon steel in 0.l% NaCl at 30, 40, 50 and 60°C were analysed. The corrosion tests lasted for a period of one month. They were performed using a flow loop under a total gas pressure ...

Explicit approaches to risk analysis within the water utility sector, traditionally applied to occupational health and safety and public health protection, are now seeing broader application in contexts including corporate ...

Experimental erosion/corrosion modelling was performed on C-Mn steels and corrosion resistant alloys commonly used in petroleum production. A graded commercial sand of 50-30b pm size range, similar to sands produced ...

The current trend to economically exploit deepwater hydrocarbon reserves is to reduce the capital expenditure; accomplished by deploying subsea equipment. The financial benefit afforded is offset by the risk of high ...

Subsea pipelines, as the main transportation means for oil and gas produced offshore, are a key element of the production system. Cathodic protection systems (CPS) are used in combination with surface coatings to protect ...

This thesis investigates the benefit of risk-based decision methods in engineering decisions. A thorough literature review identified the major issues and limitations in current methods. Consequently a more ...
