Data Visualization Aspects of Corrosion Management Strategy

Oil and Gas operators require a robust Corrosion Management Strategy (CMS) to maintain asset integrity. Corrosion threats and barrier management are essential components of CMS. Corrosion threats are identified during the design, construction, operation and decommissioning phases, and mitigations are implemented to achieve a complete operating design life cycle. To monitor the effectiveness of mitigations, it is critical to establish corrosion barrier management (CBM).

In the fourth Industry Revolution (IR 4.0) era, Oil & gas operators are encouraged to transform the way we execute work processes to enhance safety, increase efficiency, and reduce cost through digital transformation. Currently, the Corrosion Barrier Management (CBM) performance is tracked manually (e.g., updating spreadsheets, extensive repetitive tasks, etc.), and there was a need for a “live” solution to monitor the facilities CBM performance through dashboards continuously. Therefore, the objective of this project was to develop, deploy and maintain a data visualization tool for online CBM. The vision was to avail the CBM for the corrosion control, integrity, operation engineers, leadership teams and central engineering organizations to help reduce high-risk corrosion events and to enhance corrosion mitigation strategies to maintain corrosion rates under acceptable limits.
CBM is challenging for existing and ageing facilities as different elements are within scattered platforms that must be prepared for full integration and digitalization. Isolated systems do not consider all aspects of CBM strategies which limits the overall understanding of CBM performance, preventing sound corrosion management decisions. The next evolution of the CBM is moving them from monitoring performance tools to proactive prediction tools to achieve zero asset integrity incidents. This paper discusses the development steps of the proposed CBM tool in detail.

There is a gap between the Integrity management systems used by companies to manage their assets and the needs of the CP engineer. Integrity management systems do not fully meet the needs of the engineer responsible for corrosion as they do not provide access and visualizations of all the data the engineer needs to make fast and informed decisions. There is also often no easy way to see the trends in the data, or easily access the relevant video and photographic data also recorded during the survey.

Data from surveys is normally contained in reports and EXCEL spreadsheets often with different measurement locations and inconsistent naming of the locations between reports. In this paper a system is introduced which enables engineers to manage and visualise in 3D CP survey data and provide access to all the relevant information through a 3D visual interface to any member of the teams. The software gives the engineer the ability to visualize in 3D the historical and predicted CP protection on the structure and the status of the anodes in the CP system. It also provides information on long term trends in the survey data.

By integrating the corrosion data with a simulation model a “digital twin” of the structure can be created to make predictions of the present and future protection of all parts of the structure. For example the engineer can easily use the software to systematically monitor the differences between the model predictions and survey data to identify anomalies and give early identification of problems which will require action.

The paper will describe the system developed and present applications of both the 3D corrosion data visualisation and the simulation based digital twin
