Three platforms in the Santa Ynez Unit (SYU) field in the Santa Barbara Channel, platforms Heritage (HE), Harmony (HA), and Hondo (HO), were installed between 1979 and 1989, approximately 19 km (12 miles) west of Goleta, California in water depths between 259 m (850 ft) to 365 m (1200 ft). These platforms were previously retrofitted with ICCP sleds which were in decline, requiring additional Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) anode output. Therefore, they were all retrofitted with additional ICCP systems in a single campaign to provide a 25-year life extension.

Cathodic Protection (CP) system retrofits (upgrade or replacement) are typically required to prevent subsea corrosion beyond the initial design life of offshore assets. This paper describes the equipment and installation methodologies used to provide a total of 21,000 A of current output capacity for a 25-year life extension to the three structures platforms Heritage (HE), Harmony (HA), and Hondo (HO), installed between 1979 and 1989, approximately 19 km west of Goleta, California in water depths between 259 m to 365 m. Cost and environmental impact were reduced by re-utilizing existing equipment, minimizing ROV vessel time, and avoiding extensive structural modifications.
21 remote anode sleds mounted onto cassettes with their cable pre-spooled onshore, rated at 1000 A each, were deployed and inspected in 17 days. The fast installation was achieved by applying the hardware required to protect the cable either in the factory or staged onshore. The components were engineered to limit the installation complexity and the potential for damage.
The system was successfully commissioned, operationally tested, and energized to full output. The overall installation was completed safely with no injury to personnel.

The range of factors affecting the susceptibility of equipment to corrosion under insulation (CUI)
are numerous. Some of these factors might be controlled through better design, more robust
installation procedures, and using better quality coatings. However, there are other risk factors such as operating temperature, material type, and environmental conditions that cannot be easily modified.

Traditional Corrosion Growth Rate (CGR) models used in the integrity assessment of corroded pipelines are deterministic. A common Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inline inspection (ILI) tool performance specification on general corrosion anomaly depth is +/- 10% Wall Thickeness (WT) at 80% confidence which corresponds to a standard deviation of 7.81% WT.  Probabilistic Corrosion Growth Rate (PCGR) models incorporate these large measurement uncertainties and provide more realistic reliability assessments

While performing cathodic protection surveys, carrier pipe and casing potential readings are typically recorded at the same test station location near the end of a casing. Comparing these potentials should reveal a difference between the cathodically protected pipe versus an unprotected and electrically isolated casing. The difference in potentials is one of available tests to determine whether a casing may be electrically shorted to the carrier pipe. The pipe-to-electrolyte and casing-to-electrolyte potential comparison is usually the initial “screening” method.
