The wet H2S damage mechanism occurs when hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a colorless, toxic and flammable gas naturally present in crude oil and natural gas, comes into contact with water, dissolving and forming a weak acid hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that accelerates corrosive processes, particularly in iron and steel-based materials.

Subsea pipelines are systems that are fully or partially submerged in water and are of critical importance in the global energy industry by facilitating the transportation of crude oil and its derivatives through marine terminals. Maintaining its integrity is essential to ensure a safe and reliable energy supply.

CO2 corrosion in hydrocarbon pipelines is a critical phenomenon that can compromise the structural integrity and safety of facilities. CO2 is a byproduct generated in oil and gas production and refining processes, which interacts with metal in pipelines, triggering corrosive mechanisms that must be addressed effectively.

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) poses a considerable challenge in critical sectors such as oil, gas, chemicals and energy. Risk-Based Assessment (RBI) emerges as a key tool to address this problem. The question that arises is: Under what approach, qualitative or quantitative, should this evaluation be carried out? The answer is critical to developing effective corrosion management strategies.

Crude oil, due to its origin in natural deposits, contains components that are harmful to its processing, such as: groundwater, suspended solids, sediments and dissolved salts. These elements lead to corrosion problems and therefore economic losses and material damage during the storage and processing of crude oil.

The joint use of conventional cathodic protection systems and Pulsed Current Cathodic Protection can increase the efficiency of the protection system of a buried pipeline when the conventional system alone does not guarantee adequate control. To ensure the safe transportation and storage of petroleum products through pipelines, it is essential to apply various corrosion control methods.
