The complex of jacket structures and flowlines subject to retrofitting consists of 5 jacket structures and 8 subsea flowlines. The arrangement of assets and dimensions used in this work is designed to mimic the challenges posed by real complex scenarios. The complex has three central structures bridge linked (J1, J2 and J3) and two distant structures (J4 and J5) connected to J1 through underwater flowlines.

A great number of offshore marine structures such as jacket platforms, monopiles, FPSOs and subsea pipelines are reaching the original design life and several alternatives for retrofitting are available to extend their service life. These can include impressed current or sacrificial anodes.


Among other parameters, the design should consider the current state of the structures using data from recent field survey and the possible interactions of the retrofit anodes with the existing structures. In complex scenarios, the main challenge to obtain a cost-effective solution is to minimise the number of retrofit anodes whilst mitigating possible interactions with other structures to achieve protection of the asset while avoiding overprotection. Computational modelling can assist in optimising not only the location and number of anodes, but also avoiding over-protection and considering additional aspects like interactions and changes in the polarisation status of the structures for example.


This paper illustrates the optimisation of a retrofit design with the aim of extending the service life of a system of jacket structures and submerged pipelines using ICCP remote anode, contemplating strategies to overcome the screening effect caused by big number of conductors present in the jacket structures.

Traditional zinc rich primers are the primer of choice during new construction of assets placed offshore for oil & gas production. However, during maintenance, zinc rich primers are not used because of difficulties of having good surface preparation and controlling applied dft to prevent cracking. This paper will examine the performance of new, activated zinc rich epoxy primers compared to conventional zinc rich epoxy primers on steel prepared to different surface profiles using standard techniques of today.

The hydrocarbon exploration in the ocean and deep sea was started as early as early as the 1850s, when the first drilling was carried out in California, USA. Other early oil explorations activities were later recorded in Pakistan (1886), Peru (1869), India (1890) and Dutch East Indies (1893). The development of an offshore industry is directly related to the development of subsea pipelines as well. As the industry expands towards deeper waters, the pipelines are required to have better materials, designs, operation practices and maintenance strategies to withstand the challenging environments. These pipelines are exposed to elevated temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive fluids.

When a metal or metal alloy is immersed in an electrolyte made of a conducting material of sufficient oxidizing power, such as moist soil, it will corrode according to a well-defined electrochemical mechanism. dc corrosion is a result of dissolution of material due to oxidizing reactions, liberating electrons and forming positive ions transported into the electrolyte, leading to material loss. The current-potential relationship governing this electrochemical process termed polarization, is non-linear. This relationship is often represented by a polarization curve, which is typically, an experimentally determined function. There are a number of parameters that can contribute to the final characteristics of the polarization curve within a system ranging from material parameters (e.g. material, geometry) to environmental factors (e.g. composition of the electrolyte).
