Corrosion management continues to be a worldwide challenge, stretching the capabilities of institutions across various fields around the globe. One such industry is the Oil & Gas which accounts for approximately 60% of the worldwide cost of corrosion that is estimated to be $2.5 trillion per year. The main challenge facing the industry is the reactive nature of corrosion management and the consequences of the lack of a holistic management approach. Although some tools claim to assist in managing corrosion, their effectiveness and usefulness are always questioned by the failures that occur in their presence. With this in mind, Saudi Aramco has developed an in-house web-based technology known as the Corrosion Management Solution (CMS), which is an integrated solution for monitoring corrosion parameters through real-time data. CMS intends to shift corrosion management from a reactive to a proactive process. This in return has served the company in its corporate strategy of being on the global forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4.0IR) applications, while also enhancing the asset integrity and reliability across its operating facilities. This paper details the approach the team took to develop the CMS driving forward a new paradigm in corrosion management and establishing the platform for an intelligent machine learning-based system.
