Proactive Pipeline Corrosion Monitoring Using a Telemetry System in The Ukanafun-Calabar Pipeline Route, Nigeria

Abstract

Oil and gas pipeline systems in the crude oil refineries play a critical part in exploration, exportation and delivering of petroleum products and the energy resources required to power communities around the globe. The necessity to protects and secures these structures and prolong their valuable service life remain extreme economic importance since their disappointment will impact negatively on life, environment, and properties. The extra or additive cost for pipeline corrosion management represent a very small percentage of the original system constructional costs. The price of employing a corrosion control scheme has established to be of countless benefits in curtailing seepages and at the same time prolonging the service life of the pipelines. In this academic work, oil and gas pipelines was giving a pro-active attention by monitoring in situ and remotely for corrosion effects using the telemetry system with measured and calculated result.
