Course Overview
Module objectives
This module gives students a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of oilfield chemistry and corrosion. On completion of this module, students should be able to:
- Explain the properties and application of a range of chemicals used in corrosion control for oil and gas production.
- Understand the principal theories of corrosion science and engineering, with particular reference to the oil and gas industry.
Knowledge outcome
- Understand the role of the properties of a range of chemicals used in oil and gas production and their impact on corrosion.
- Understand the role of electrochemistry in corrosion science and engineering.
- Understanding of and ability to evaluate the mechanisms of the various forms of corrosion.
- Understand the influence of the corrosion environment prevailing in the oil and gas industry.
