The Monitor

In the past, sophisticated online analysis for hydrocarbons was used only in laboratories – but now they’re widely used online at many upstream, midstream, and downstream hydrocarbon facilities.

Chemical mitigation programs are a costly necessity for companies producing, transporting, storing and refining natural gas, gas liquids and crude oil. Optimizing these programs can result in immediate and considerable financial savings of 10%-30%. The first step in optimizing a program is to conduct a Chemical Optimization Audit.

Corrosion is the hidden enemy within refineries, silently and invisibly eating away at the interior of critical infrastructure and equipment.

Learn how to monitor and mitigate corrosion in our free eBook, The Corrosion Monitoring and Mitigation Handbook: Creating A Balanced and Effective Program for Downstream Processes.

This is the third part in our series about preventing, monitoring and treating corrosion in hydrocarbon pipelines. You can read the first two posts here and here.

Internal corrosion monitoring is critical to preventing and addressing corrosion inside gas and oil pipelines. It’s also the first step in choosing the right corrosion mitigation method based on identified corrosive constituents.

Read Part I in this series to learn about the tools used to monitor pipeline corrosion.

Pipelines carrying oil and gas experience internal corrosion when water is present inside the lines. The amount of corrosion will vary, depending on factors such as temperature, total pressure, CO₂ and H₂S content of the gas, pH of the water, flow conditions, use of inhibiting chemicals and more.

But no matter the amount of corrosion, it can have devastating effects on your equipment.

Corrosion is one of the biggest threats to the petroleum industry and preventing it is especially critical in systems susceptible to producing corrosive environments, such as flow lines, transportation pipelines, vessels, water systems, boilers, vacuum towers, cooling systems, amine systems and crude oil systems.

In order to mitigate this devastating occurrence, accurate measurement and monitoring is crucial.

Corrosion monitoring and mitigation is essential for ensuring safe operation and reliable natural gas supplies. In fact, corrosion control practices could save up to $875 billion annually. And this doesn’t include the additional safety, operational and environmental benefits that come from corrosion-free equipment.

In the petroleum industry it’s critical that operations run safely and efficiently with controlled, real-time data. Since upstream and midstream operations often are located in remote areas with temperature extremes, oil & gas operators need a partner to provide full solutions with rugged, reliable products that can provide the best in corrosion monitoring and mitigation, chemical optimization and representative sampling to help them maintain seamless and safe operations.
