The Role of Corrosion Engineers in the Oil and Gas Industry

dwidayakorosindo.co.id – Corrosion Engineer maybe a profession that is not too familiar to your ears or even you just found out at this time? Yes, it is natural, because the corrosion engineer profession is rare in Indonesia, this is because not many people know that this profession is very and must exist in every industry, especially the oil and gas industry.

Corrosion Engineering is a position that has a strategic role in the Oil and Gas industry. He is tasked with ensuring that all processing equipment in a drilling / oil processing facility does not malfunction due to uncontrolled corrosion rates, especially on offshore oil drilling platforms in high saline environments.

A corrosion engineer plays a very important role in the oil and gas sector, including corrosion assessment, corrosion mitigation, corrosion monitoring, and corrosion management activity. In addition, corrosion engines also have another task, namely calculating materials at prices that are relevant to their quality.

The needs of this profession in every company are relatively difficult to compete. That’s because every company doesn’t need much. If the oil and gas sector does not have corrosion engineers, it could be dangerous, because the effects of corrosion cannot be underestimated.

In the process, a corrosion engineer has a vision to keep the facility safe to operate and how to prevent the pipe from being corroded or leaking.

In general, Corrosion Engineers in oil and gas companies have the following duties:

• • Creating a corrosion monitoring and mitigation program (Cathodic Protection survey, X-tree Inspection, Corrosion Coupon Exchanges)

• • Creating a corrosion monitoring and mitigation program (Cathodic Protection survey, X-tree Inspection, Corrosion Coupon Exchanges)

• • Creating a corrosion inhibition program (Corrosion inhibitor application, coating and material selection)

• • Making failure analysis for equipment and pipe failures related to both internal and external corrosion

• • Creating a routine work program for monitoring corrosion and chemical inhibitors

• • Cathodic protection survey
  • Conduct periodic corrosion inspections on oil and gas production equipment

Currently, there are still many oil and gas companies that have difficulty getting a Corrosion Engineer. This is because not many campuses in Indonesia have a department that studies corrosion, namely Material Engineering. In addition, until now there has been no institution in Indonesia that regularly conducts corrosion training for the engineer level (only for the Corrosion Inspector level), so that your knowledge in Corrosion Engineering will have a high enough selling value.
