In recent years the Middle East oil industry has seen tremendous growth in oil producing and handling
facilities, matched by an increased number of Cathodic Protection installations. The monitoring of large
numbers of new CP systems presents special challenges to CP operators and with Remote Monitoring
System, these challenges can be overcome. This paper discussed the advantages of having RMS to
remotely monitor the CP system and have readily available data for CP reports and system evaluation.
