    Abstract: A method for calibrating close interval survey (CIS) data with remotely monitored data includes obtaining a plurality of CIS measurements from a plurality of CIS locations along a pipeline, obtaining a first plurality of remotely monitored measurements from a plurality of test stations positioned along the pipeline for a first time period, assigning, for each of the plurality of test stations, one of the plurality of CIS locations as an adjacent CIS location based on location data for the plurality of CIS locations and the plurality of test stations, and, calibrating the CIS data with the remotely monitored data by using the first plurality of remotely monitored measurements for each of the plurality of test stations as a proxy measurement for the adjacent CIS location.

    Abstract: A test sample is extracted from a hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) resistant material candidate. A control sample is extracted from a prequalified HIC susceptible material that is known to suffer predetermined HIC damage when subjected to preset test conditions of a standardized HIC test (e.g., NACE TM0284). The HIC test is performed on the test and control samples. A value of a predetermined cracking criteria is calculated for the control sample. It is determined whether the calculated value of the predetermined cracking criteria is at least equal to a predetermined minimum threshold value. If yes, respective values of a plurality of predetermined HIC resistance criteria for the test sample are calculated. It is determined whether the calculated respective values of the plurality of predetermined HIC resistance criteria for the test sample are not greater than corresponding predetermined maximum threshold values. If yes, the HIC resistant material candidate is qualified as a valid source for sour service applications.

    Abstract: A first estimation function unit estimates, on the basis of a particle diameter of soil of a target land, a relationship between an underground depth of the land and an oxygen concentration in soil. A second estimation function unit estimates, on the basis of a corrosion rate or a corrosion amount of a target metal near a ground surface of the land and the relationship estimated by the first estimation function unit, a relationship between the underground depth and the corrosion rate or the corrosion amount in the land from a relationship between the oxygen concentration and the corrosion rate or the corrosion amount. A third estimation function unit estimates a corrosion state of a structure constituted of the metal buried in target ground in the land from the relationship estimated by the second estimation function unit.

    Abstract: A device for measuring condensation and/or advance of corrosion of a conduit includes an insulator extending around the conduit; a first conductor and a second conductor which are arranged such that at least a portion of the insulator lies between the conduit and the first conductor and the second conductor, such that the first conductor forms a first pole of a capacitor, the second conductor forms a second pole of the capacitor, and the portion therebetween comprises a capacitive coupling between the first pole and the second pole. At least one measuring instrument is configured to determine a value which is representative of the capacitive coupling.

    Abstract: The present invention addresses to a Corrosion Remote Monitoring System (CRMS) for integral application in the inspection of metallic structures, located in environments with high humidity index (TVZ), aiming at protecting the pipings from the action of external corrosion in the oil and gas industry segment, as it is of great importance for the preservation of the structural integrity of the installations, operational safety and preservation of the environment, in this last aspect, for preventing hydrocarbon leaks at sea. The installation of the Corrosion Detection System (CDS) in any Production Unit (PU) does not require any type of adaptation and additional space, and can be implemented in offshore units.
