Overview
The workshop will discuss the 4 elements (Threats, Barriers, Assurance and Verification tools), essential for any successful corrosion management system. This is done through short lectures with ample opportunity for discussion. Case studies will help the participants put what was learned during the lectures into practice. Although the current model is aimed at the corrosion processes in upstream Oil and Gas, the principle can be applied to any industry.
The main problem with corrosion management and prevention is that it is invisible. You don’t know that you’re doing well until you have done a full corrosion inspection. Assurance is only giving circumstantial evidence. Corrosion management can be tricky if all checks and balances are not properly implemented.
When the 4 principles as explained in this workshop are applied consistently you will be able to effectively manage corrosion. Our corrosion training workshops held in Mexico aim to give a comprehensive methodology to manage corrosion on your assets.
One could say that the purpose is to make inspection superfluous. Not living in an ideal world this is not true of course and both the company and the authorities will require some hard evidence that everything is in control.

Methodology
The workshop will discuss the 4 elements (Treats, Barriers, Assurance and Verification tools) , essential for any successful corrosion management system. This is done through short lectures with ample opportunity for discussion. Case studies will help the participants to put what was learned during the lectures into practice. Although the current model is aimed at the corrosion processes in upstream Oil and Gas, the principle can be applied to any industry.
The 4-step methodology relies heavily on the use of checklists and pre-defined relationships between threats and barriers, between barriers and assurances and threat morphology and verification methods. Its focus is on the application of the corrosion management in the operational phase. It assumes that the design has done properly and the most appropriate barriers and assurance methods have been selected. As such any risk assessment concept is outside the scope of this workshop. However we will address the issue in the day 2 afternoon workshop if there is sufficient interest.
The corrosion management systems as discussed have been implemented in both Shell and BP.

Bio: Willem van Gestel
Willem graduated as metallurgist from Delft Technical University in 1976 followed by 9 years of materials testing and failure analysis for a broad spectrum of industries. He joined Shell International EP in 1985 and has worked as a corrosion engineer with emphasis on pipelines (both design and operations) in Brunei, Norway, Nigeria, Netherlands, UK and US. He retired from Shell in 2010 and now works as independent consultant. Has extensive experience in developing and implementing corrosion management systems.
