In the oil and gas industry, corrosion control is required; it employs technical concepts and processes to reduce corrosion in the most cost-effective manner. Monitoring corrosion alerts users to potentially hazardous processes or conditions that could result in corrosion-related failures. In addition, it illustrates the correlation between alterations in process parameters and system corrosion. Monitoring corrosion is essential for determining the service life of pipelines and when they must be replaced or stopped down.

This intensive course by AIBM will identify metallurgical issues and emphasize effective Corrosion Control strategies, including investigation, detection, monitoring of process units, and damage reduction techniques.

Certification Program Objectives: 

• Evaluate the building materials utilized in the hydrocarbon, gas, and water industries.
• Derive corrosion mechanisms and theories.
• Understand corrosion types in oil, gas, and water fields thoroughly.
• Analyze methods for corrosion monitoring and inspection.
• Examine corrosion control methods and operations.

Certifying Examination:

• To be certified as CCCGOWP, student should take up a 1.5 hours exam at the designated examination centers.
• The qualifying exam would consist of 50 multiple choice questions, testing core certification modules.
• Professionals with relevant experience and other qualifying criteria may be exempted from the examination.

Materials Provided:

• Presentation slides
• Study references

Certification:

Upon successful completion of the CCCGOWP training, participants will receive a “Certified Corrosion Control in Gas, Oil, and Water Professional” certificate.

Who Should Attend:

• This training is beneficial for petroleum engineers, welders, process engineers, inspectors, and inspection supervisors.
