Pipeline Corrosion
Thursday, March 22, 2007
Deep. Remote. Environmentally sensitive. Situation like this make you appreciate Tenaris (a company which provide good pipeline services). Tough challenges call for innovative solutions: New products, continuous upgrades, advance in metallurgy. Offshore is a toughest place to be. Hence, we need the best and the toughest pipeline, a high strength and corrosion resistant which can take the worse of sour service, deep water application in stride. I've been in several offshore platforms, and seriously I saw very bad corrosion taking place due to the rough and salty environment which encourages oxidation process to take place. Pipeline corrosion is one area to maintain and protect.
