Course Description
MIC is one of the most insidious integrity threats not only to the hydrocarbon assets, but also to the associated production reservoirs. Poor and inadequate MIC mitigation therefore results both in asset equipment deterioration and reservoir souring and plugging. Furthermore, MIC deterioration rates could reach several millimeters per year. Consequently, once bacterial contamination is introduced into the system, MIC. could produce corrosion leaks and failures in a very short period of time. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to appreciate how and where bacteria grow, what their metabolism reactions are and how they could render their living environment a corrosive one. More importantly it is equally important to appreciate. What the best techniques are for assessing bacterial populations and MIC and then how to control and mitigate them. This training course has been based on extensive field experience in various continents and regions and offers various best practices in MIC monitoring, assessment and mitigation from around the world. Furthermore, the course also demonstrates that how the corrosion management concept could be utilized to significantly enhance MIC control and mitigation in any upstream oil and gas asset exposed to MIC.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Training Objective
Target Audience
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but those who will
greatly benefit include:
- Corrosion & Integrity Engineers
- Production & Operation Engineers
- Inspection Engineers
- Repair & Maintenance Engineers
- Coating & CP Engineers
- Asset Project Engineers & Asset Managers
- Chemical Treatment Specialists
- Corrosion Monitoring Systems Specialists & Lab Technicians
Training Methods
The teaching will be done via PowerPoint slides containing text, tables, plots, pictures,
etc. The teaching will be interactive; that is, on a regular basis the participants will be
asked to participate in an ongoing topic, discussion or challenge. Past MIC case studies
will be presented throughout the training course to promote best international practices
while simultaneously discouraging integrity practices which had resulted in impairing
asset integrity in various projects. The training course will end with a short assessment
to further help all the participants to remember all the important subjects, concepts and
practices discussed throughout the course.
