Mitigation of Corrosion Problems in API 5L Steel Pipeline – A Review

The worst nightmare of the oil and gas industry which must not be taken lightly is the issue of corrosion which affects the pipes used for transportation of oil and gas. Corrosion problems need to be properly understood in order to prescribe the necessary kind of treatment that will ensure a long life span for the pipeline. This paper gives a comprehensive review of corrosion problems in API 5L steel pipeline and the ways to mitigate the corrosion problems. Proper control and prevention of corrosion in API 5L steel would ensure long life span of the pipe, uninterrupted flow of products, reduction in shutdown time and generate more revenue for the industry. Oil and gas materials last longer when both inhibitors and protective coatings are used together or when protective coating is used together with cathodic protection.
