Corrosion management is a practice aiming to provide a systematic approach to manage the corrosion risks in oil and gas production. It is part of the overall management system, which is concerned with the development, implantation, review and maintenance of the corrosion policy. It provides a systematic mechanism to identify and mitigate corrosion risks, as well as an avenue to monitor the effectiveness and performance of this mechanism.
One thing we have to remember that corrosion is not a simple technical issue. It is an overall impact of design, operation, maintenance and engineering.The following diagram precisely depicts this system (J Fletcher). Therefore, a systematical approach is a must to address the corrosion management.
