Corrosion is not just a sustainment concern that impacts the availability and safety of critical structural assets; it is also a damage mechanism that should be considered during the initial design phase. By considering the corrosion process and associated preventive strategies during the design phase it is possible to reduce total ownership cost and improve equipment readiness. The Department of Defense spends more than $23 billion each year to control corrosion on aircraft and other equipment in its operations around the world.

To accurately assess galvanic performance of dissimilar metal components under atmospheric corrosion we need to predict corrosion rates for galvanic couples covered by thin layer electrolytes that commonly occur in the natural environment. In this study we used finite element models of interdigitated electrode (IDE) sensors to help characterize the changing electrolyte properties on a sensor surface during a salt aerosol spray dosing experiment. Different volumes of a sodium chloride solution were sprayed on electrode grids capable of measuring either solution conductance or galvanic current. Computer models of these electrode grids were developed to predict the relative changes in electrolyte properties occurring as applied salt loading was increased; experimental measurements were used to guide model assumptions. The goal of this approach is to characterize electrolyte properties representative of thin film environments in a laboratory controlled environment. Results from this work provide new insight into the spatial extent of electrolyte films developing under different salt loads during simple relative humidity cycle testing. This work supports advancement in understanding the nature of electrolyte films that may occur in the natural environment and provides further guidance on appropriate domain and boundary conditions to consider in finite-element based atmospheric corrosion models.

In most engineering and scientific applications, machine learning (ML) or artificial intelligence (AI) methods in general, are primarily oriented to design a statistical/heuristic procedure to predict the outcome of a system under new conditions. This mechanism aims at exploring non-evident correlations between inputs and outputs that are embedded in the data. However, a large body of this effort relies on black-box function approximations (e.g., neural networks) that have shown limitations to elucidate additional insights from the underlying physical process that generated the data. Thus, this type of knowledge is generated in a data-driven manner without fully explaining the physics governing the problem.

The Wafra Joint Operation (WJO) Oilfield is located in the central-west part of the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. The Wafra oilfield reserves were first discovered and wells drilled in 1953 and production in commercial quantities began in 1954. This field produces two types of crude oil, Ratawi (light oil) and Eocene (heavy oil), with average water cut of 80-85%. During operation, the production wells produce the oil emulsion through mostly coated flowlines to sub-centres (SC) where the sour oil, water and gas are separated. The facility has two gathering fields: Eocene and Ratawi. Eocene has 2 phase separation, whilst Ratawi has 3 phase separation.

Corrosion risk due to AC interference has been known to be a possibility for decades but really came to the awareness of pipeline industry professionals starting around 2000 to 2004. Prior to that time there were some lab simulations as well as some suspected incidents in actual field situations, but many in the industry resisted accepting this as a real risk even as late as 2012 or later. Part of the reluctance to view AC interference as a genuine corrosion risk was that corrosion directly attributed to AC interference had not really been seen in the century of buried pipeline management, as well as a lack of understanding as to how this interference produced or accelerated corrosion on the pipeline.
