摘要:The worst nightmare of the oil and gas industry which must not be taken lightlyis the issue of corrosion which affects the pipes used for transportation of oiland gas. Corrosion problems need to be properly understood in order toprescribe the necessary kind of treatment that will ensure a long life span for thepipeline. This paper gives a comprehensive review of corrosion problems inAPI 5L steel pipeline and the ways to mitigate the corrosion problems. Propercontrol and prevention of corrosion in API 5L steel would ensure long life spanof the pipe, uninterrupted flow of products, reduction in shutdown time andgenerate more revenue for the industry. Oil and gas materials last longer whenboth inhibitors and protective coatings are used together or when protectivecoating is used together with cathodic protection.
