Cathodic protection is a method of corrosion control of buried or submerged metal structures, such as pipelines, storage tanks, and marine structures. However, despite its proven efficiency. During the installation of a cathodic protection system, a series of problems may arise that require attention and appropriate solutions.

In the oil and gas industry, operational safety and efficiency are critical to ensuring a constant flow of hydrocarbons through the supply chain. However, Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI), a hidden threat, represents one of the most critical challenges in terms of inspection, as it directly impacts the integrity of assets.

Structures such as oil platforms, underwater pipelines and docks are constantly exposed to corrosive environments. The salinity of seawater, marine life, among others, contribute to speeding up this process. Therefore, it is imperative to take preventive measures. In this article, some considerations in the cathodic protection of these structures are presented.
