Corrosion Management in a Strained Economic Climate

Two-part webinar about pipeline corrosion management

When the oil and gas industry suffers a pronounced economic slow-down, with a crude oil stock price slump, there is a consequential steep decline in the workforce and available funds to undertake the fundamental integrity management activities in order to reduce costs. Crude oil production may be reduced while the stock price is low, however it does not stop completely, and therefore the integrity issues do not fluctuate with the stock price.

For asset integrity, it should always be business as usual; however, there are ways to reduce the short to long-term costs of managing the corrosion aspect of the integrity threat through optimization.
