Hydrocarbons still remain as a fundamental contributor towards meeting the worldwide demand for energy, despite the growth of other alternative sources such as renewable and nuclear options. Due to low cost and availability, carbon steel, remains as the most commonly used material for pipelines in down and upstream activities within the oil and gas industry. However, carbon steel is not an exceptional metal alloy from the perspective of internal corrosion resistance. The economical cost for its degradation and related failures represent 10% to 30% of the maintenance budget in petroleum industry. It is therefore crucial that the corrosion of such a susceptible steel is managed and controlled accordingly.

Iron carbonate (FeCO3) is a common corrosion product found on steel surfaces in carbon dioxide (CO2)-containing aqueous environments. The formation of this corrosion product on the internal walls of carbon steel pipelines can suppress material dissolution by over an order of magnitude, providing an effective form of corrosion inhibition. One significant limitation associated with relying upon solely FeCO3 to suppress material dissolution is its propensity to be locally removed by chemical or mechanical mechanisms. Here we report a novel strategy, implemented to generate a mineral-polymer nanocomposite layer in situ on an X65 steel surface in a CO2 corrosion environment. The formation of the layer is achieved through the intercalation of functionalized polystyrene nanospheres into the developing FeCO3 corrosion product. We demonstrate the feasibility of microsphere intercalation into the FeCO3 crystal layer through appropriate functionalization. Such intercalation produces a composite structure that affords excellent corrosion protection analogous to ‘natural’ FeCO3. Additionally, the composite FeCO3 layer offers unique, enhanced physical-mechanical properties compared with naturally formed FeCO3 layer. The process provides a potential means of improving the resistance of corrosion product layers to mechanical removal, and hence, the initiation of localized corrosion.

Metallic coatings as a protective coating are characterized by excellent corrosion protection behavior and show extreme resistance to mechanical loads as well. Pure metallic coatings or duplex systems are already being used successfully in other areas of offshore structures. For example, areas in the tidal water zone, such as boat landings, usually receive a duplex system consisting of thermal spayed coating and a fitting topcoat. Add-on parts are often protected exclusively by a metallic zinc coating. A thermal spray coating in the submerged zone thus represents a logical alternative to the organic topcoat system.

Many asset owners struggle to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion rates due to unreliable inspection data. Facilities worldwide are tasked with monitoring thousands of Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs) with established NDE techniques such as manual ultrasonic testing and radiography. While these techniques can provide valuable “snapshots” of the condition of particular locations, limitations and inherent errors can compound leading to ill-advised decision making. Manually taken thickness data can vary greatly and result in unwarranted complacency or excessive and costly inspections.

Inline cathodic protection current mapping is a unique method of assessing a pipeline’s cathodic protection. This is accomplished by measuring the actual current received by the pipeline continuously along the entire pipeline length. Unlike pipe to soil potentials, which can have a great deal of error in them due to forces often beyond our control, the CP mapping tool uses the physical properties of the pipe itself to measure the CP current. The pipe is a very stable part of the circuit, unlike the soil surrounding it.
