1. Scope
This document is related to Corrosion Control on Production Facilities. It is applicable to field
operation activities, from production start-up to field abandonment.
This document specifies the main activities of Corrosion entities in charge of field operations in
operating subsidiaries, based on a defined Corrosion Management strategy. It also specifies
practical methodologies and requirements for:
 Performing internal corrosion assessments on operated facilities,
 Defining corrosion mitigation and corrosion monitoring programs,
 Applying these programs during normal field operations,
 Running exceptional operations with no adverse corrosion impact.
Preliminary remarks: Due to the wide variety of parameters and solutions applicable to corrosion
control, this document not only includes general specifications but also some indicative or
applicative tables to be used within defined application limits. Some comments and explanations
are also given in italics, with no prescriptive value.

3. Definitions
Corrosion management: The overall Corrosion Management process for any production facility is
summarized in the following loop, which is applicable both during design and construction and during
field operations:
Figure 1 Corrosion management loop
Corrosion mitigation, i.e. all preventive actions undertaken during operation to control the corrosion
of susceptible materials and equipment including but not limited to:
 Metallic and non-metallic material selection,
 Chemical treatments dedicated to corrosion mitigation: Corrosion inhibition, biocide
treatments, oxygen scavenging, chlorination, pH stabilization,
 Physical treatments applicable to corrosion mitigation: Dehydration, de-oxygenation,
operational pigging, etc.
 Cathodic protection,

Corrosion Monitoring activities, i.e. all actions regularly undertaken to verify the implementation
and efficiency of preventive actions including but not limited to:
 Follow-up of chemicals injection rates,
 Follow-up of cathodic protection equipment,

 Corrosion probes (if applicable: electrical resistance probe, linear polarization resistance
probe),
 Chemical analyses (inhibitor, iron, oxygen, pH),
 Bacterial counts (kits, bioprobes, etc.).
4. Corrosion Management during Field Operations

The entity in charge of Corrosion Control shall put in place a corrosion management
strategy and formalize it in a "Corrosion Management during Field Operations" document.
This document is the "mother document" specifying how corrosion is managed throughout the
production period. It defines the organization, the responsibilities and the technical bases used to
control corrosion on all facilities. It supports application documents which are established (per area
and/or per assets/facilities) to assure the proper implementation of the strategy. A minimal content
of this document and an indicative list of application documents are given in Appendix 1.
5. Corrosion register and documentation

A formal Corrosion register shall be established and regularly up-dated.
The Corrosion Register is generally a part of a wider "Plant Asset Register" managed by the
Inspection entity. It contains the necessary information and documentation on all equipment
involved in corrosion management activities during field operations:
 Construction materials,
 Other mitigation solutions applied during the design and construction, with all necessary
characteristics,
 All equipment available for chemicals' injection,
 All equipment available for corrosion monitoring.
6. Corrosion assessment during operations

A Corrosion assessment shall be established and regularly up-dated to:
1. Evaluate the need for applying new preventive solutions or improving the solutions in
place and to set the efficiency target of these solutions,
2. As part of any RBI evaluation for preparing inspection programs. Corrosion
Assessments are currently included in RBI evaluation tools.
The corrosion assessment aims at evaluating whether corrosion is well controlled or not and at
which rate it is likely to proceed, in case of insufficient control.
It is used for revising corrosion mitigation, corrosion monitoring, and inspection programs, and is a
key input for the definition of planned maintenance & repairs.
The deliverables of this Corrosion Assessment are in two parts:
1. The Natural Corrosion Likelihood, i.e. without any applied mitigation.
Note: This Natural Corrosion Likelihood is particularly used to define whether additional
mitigation solutions are needed or not and to evaluate how quick problems might be
experienced if such mitigation was not applied or inefficient.
Validity : 3 Years
Page
7 of 30
2. The final Corrosion Likelihood, which also accounts for:

- The efficiency of preventive solutions used, if any,
- The corrosion monitoring and inspection results,
- The last known or expected condition of the equipment considered (extent of corrosion
damages if any, repairs, etc.).
Note: For new facilities, the Natural corrosion assessment during field operations is based on
similar tools and methodologies as those used during design (cf. MHK COMP SPE EP COR
0001). The First Natural Corrosion Likelihood evaluation is the one elaborated within the Project
phase.
Corrosion Assessments needs to be regularly revised, and as a minimum in case of:

 After ~1 year of operations on a new facility, in order to adjust the assessment done during
the Project phase with real data gathered during the 1st year.
 Any significant change in operating conditions, such as but not limited to:
- Start-up of a new field using existing facilities or equipment,
- Implementation of a new process unit which modifies the service conditions of existing
facilities or equipment,
- A change in production rates by more than 50%.
 Unexpected corrosion events likely to re-occur at other locations and not covered by
existing corrosion assessment results.
 Corrosion monitoring results regularly in contradiction with the corrosion assessment.
The changes in operation and its impact to corrosion need to be documented and follow the
management of change.
7. Corrosion mitigation
A Corrosion Mitigation Program shall be established and regularly updated. This program
specifies all necessary actions to be undertaken during operational life to prevent
corrosion failures of any important equipment before its expected end of service.
Corrosion Mitigation Programs shall include all relevant mitigation solutions as described in § 3.
A typical structure of a corrosion mitigation program is shown in Appendix 2.
For any preventive actions in the corrosion mitigation program, the following needs, as a minimum,
be specified:
 The method to be used,
 The location where it will be used,
 The equipment to be used,
 The requirements for use (dose rates, potential values, flow rates, etc.),
 The quantitative efficiency levels targets,
 The relevant application procedures.
Validity : 3 Years
Page
8 of 30
The corrosion mitigation program needs to be formally delivered to all entities in charge of its
implementation, together with all relevant procedures to allow its correct application.
The availability of the necessary material and human resources for the implementation of the
corrosion mitigation program is to be verified.
The Corrosion mitigation program needs to be updated regularly, and as a minimum:
 Every year,
 For physical and chemical treatments: when production rates are changed by more than ±
25%, or new fields or new process facilities are added,
 When corrosion monitoring results are regularly in contradiction with expectations, or quickly
drifting from previous average values,
 When inspection results are in contradiction with expectations, based on the supposed
performance of preventive actions.
A corrosion inhibitor product selected and used on a field/asset shall only be changed due to any
following major reasons:
 Documented lack of efficiency,
 Clearly demonstrated detrimental process/ production impact,

 Incompatibility with local authorities recommendations, particularly its impact on environment,
 Cost saving (at least 20% less than the previous treatment).
The new corrosion inhibitor product shall be subjected to a qualification process, unless already
qualified in comparable operating conditions by a documented positive field experience.
The bases for a typical corrosion mitigation program are given in Appendix 3 for:
 Table 3.1: Typical corrosion inhibitor treatments for oil and gas production facilities,
 Table 3.2: Typical biocide treatments for oil and gas production facilities,
 Table 3.3: Typical pH stabilisation treatments for gas production facilities,
 Table 3.4: Anticorrosion treatment of seawater lift for fire water,
 Table 3.5: Typical guidelines for operational pipeline pigging for corrosion purpose,
 Table 3.6: Typical guidelines for definition of painting maintenance programs,
 Table 3.7: Typical guidelines for definition of paint maintenance programs.
Validity : 3 Years

8. Corrosion monitoring
A corrosion monitoring program shall be established and regularly updated, aiming at

either:
1. Verifying the effective use and the performance of preventive actions, if any,
2. Verifying that corrosion likelihood remains below the maximal acceptable level, when
no preventive action is deemed necessary.
A formal corrosion monitoring program shall be established as a minimum for physical
and chemical treatments, and for cathodic protection (internal and external).
Corrosion monitoring results shall be regularly gathered, analysed (on a monthly basis)
and kept over the whole operational life time of the facilities considered.
Note: Corrosion monitoring is different from inspection. It aims at evaluating the performance of
preventive actions within short time delays (days to months depending on the technique) without any
direct indication of the physical condition of the equipment. Inspection is focused on the corrosion
status of equipment on a longer term basis (months to years).Among the various preventive actions
undertaken, corrosion monitoring activities will be focused on cathodic protection and physical and
chemical treatments, whereas monitoring of painting-coating and corrosion resistant materials are
mostly covered by Inspection programs.
The Corrosion Monitoring program is a formal document defining all activities and measurements to
be handled to cover the objectives listed here above.
The monitoring program shall cover all relevant production and injection facilities. A typical list of
monitoring techniques is given in Appendix 4, Table 4.1.For each monitoring activity the following
needs to be included, as a minimum:
 The monitoring technique used,
 The location where it is used,
 The relevant application procedure,
 The measurement frequency,
 The entity in charge of the activity,
 The threshold acceptance values,
 The actions to be undertaken when threshold values are exceeded.
All application procedures necessary to the satisfactory application of the corrosion monitoring
program must also be made available to the entities in charge.
The Corrosion monitoring program is regularly up-dated, as a minimum when:
 New facilities are installed or existing facilities are closed,
 Process modifications are made, which may modify the corrosiveness of the fluids which are
monitored or the efficiency of the applied mitigation,
 Changes are made on the applied mitigation programs,
 Corrosion monitoring or inspection results are regularly in contradiction with expectations.
Validity : 3 Years
Page
10 of 30
As long as chemical treatments are concerned, the corrosion monitoring program includes:
 The verification of injection specifications (flow rates, dose rates, continuity or frequency and
duration), based on typical guidelines indicated in Appendix 4, Table 4.2.
 Indicative parameters related to treatments’ efficiency, as per reference documents (coupons,
probes, titrations, bacterial counts, etc.).
A sound corrosion monitoring program requires combining several monitoring techniques in parallel.
The typical guideline for monitoring of microbial induced corrosion in production facilities is given in
Appendix 4, Table 4.3.
9. Inspection activities related to corrosion control
The corrosion entity in charge shall

 Maintain a permanent and close relationship with the Inspection department, with
systematic and mutual exchange of information on significant corrosion events
experienced, inspection results involving corrosion damages, poor corrosion
monitoring results, etc.
 Be involved in the definition of RBI type inspection programs for the Corrosion
Likelihood evaluation of the concerned equipment.
 Be involved in the implementation of inspection programs where corrosion is the
essential reason for inspection, particularly when the objective of the
inspection/survey is to establish the painting maintenance program.
For RBI programs, the Corrosion entity is in charge of validating the Corrosion Likelihood evaluation
used in the RBI tool. This evaluation shall be consistent with the Corrosion Assessment defined in §
4.3.
The Corrosion entity checks that the planned inspection programs are adequate with respect to
corrosion assessment and corrosion threats, and consistent with any additional information regarding
corrosion events, corrosion monitoring results, etc.
Inspection results needs to be reviewed with respect to their possible impact on any other equipment
potentially subjected to similar corrosion damages.
Inspection results needs to be analysed in view of adjusting, if necessary, corrosion mitigation and
monitoring programs, particularly when unpredicted corrosion damages are detected by inspection.
The Corrosion entity is directly involved in Painting Maintenance activities, as detailed in Appendix 3:
1. Definition of the Painting maintenance strategy, as part of the Corrosion Management
strategy,
2. Performance of "Corrosion and Coating Integrity Inventories" as per MHK-COMP-SPE-EP-
COR-0451,
3. Definition of multi-years painting maintenance programs,
4. Technical qualification of contractors performing painting maintenance,
5. Checking, inspection and acceptance of painting works.
Validity : 3 Years
Page

10. Corrosion impact of exceptional operations

A detailed review of exceptional operations likely to have a detrimental corrosion impact on
production facilities shall be carried out.
The necessary mitigation actions needed to minimize the corrosion impact shall be defined in
close relationship with the entity in charge of the operation. This shall be carried out within a
timeframe which guarantees the practical implementation of these mitigation actions during
the operation, and with consideration to operational limitations and constraints.
An indicative list of operations requiring to be reviewed is given in Appendix 5.
11. Review - Reporting - Filing

Corrosion mitigation and monitoring results shall be gathered through a formal corrosion reporting
system which includes:
 The collection of monitoring data from all sources,
 The regular analysis of results,

 The review of results exceeding threshold values,
 The calculation of key performance indicators (KPI).
Mitigation and monitoring data shall be archived throughout the whole service life of the
relevant facilities.
A periodic report needs to be issued containing at the minimum:
 Inspection/verification results for corrosion mitigation
 What has been implemented on corrosion mitigation,
 The gap in the corrosion mitigation and its analysis,
 The main monitoring results, with a particular emphasis and analysis on results exceeding
threshold levels,
 PIs (Important results need to be reported on a graphical basis versus time (can be over a one
year sliding period of time),
 A list of anomalies and a follow-up of corrective actions, if any.

Objectives of painting maintenance

The objective of the maintenance is to ensure a maximum overall availability of the Company’s
installations at a minimal cost while ensuring safe operating conditions. The painting maintenance
must thus be optimized with respect to economy/cost, HSE and manning.
Maintenance painting strategy

A long term Maintenance painting strategy shall be established and consistently applied over years. It
consists in developing a maintenance painting philosophy based on the following maintenance levels
and summarized in Figure 1:
 Level 0: Preventive maintenance,
 Level 1: Touch up painting,
 Level 2: Local painting refurbishment,
 Level 3: Major painting maintenance.
Validity : 3 Years
Page
23 of 30
The adequate balance between these different levels depends on the existing painting status of the
facilities considered, as well as on climate and hosting conditions. As such this balance must be
defined within each affiliate.
Key rules for painting maintenance

 An overall multi-years Painting Maintenance Plan must be established and regularly up-dated.
 Surface preparation and painting system application are key factors for the long term
performance of the painting system applied. As such, painting maintenance needs to be
performed in accordance with Company’s Specifications COR 0450 as long as a service life is
looked upon.
 Any painting maintenance done with minimal surface preparation is clearly acknowledged for
having a short service life, hence only done to wait until local painting refurbishment
maintenance or major painting maintenance.
 The Corrosion entity is responsible, as a minimum, for the definition of the surfaces to be
maintained, the applicable specifications, the Quality Control and final reception of work.
 The Corrosion entity is also involved in the selection and periodic technical evaluation/auditing
of the Contractors involved in the painting maintenance.

 The continuous touch up strategy can be adequate for maintaining in good condition a facility
not yet significantly damaged. It is not adapted to the painting maintenance of a significantly
damaged facility, neither can it replace nor avoid implementing larger operations on surfaces
with difficult access.
 Particular attention must be given to the planning of painting activities to avoid detrimental
interactions with other maintenance and production activities.
 Hosting capacities as well as logistics aspects must also be adapted to these painting
activities.

Table 4.2 - Typical guidelines for chemicals’ injection monitoring Objectives of injection
monitoring
1. Check that chemicals are injected according to specifications with respect to injection
mode and dose rate.
2. Improve injection reliability in case of inadequate injection.
General methodologies
Chemicals injection must be monitored through a combination of the following methods:
Frequency Activities
Daily (or at each site visit Verification of the injection flow rate either through:
if less than daily)
 The measurement of the instantaneous flow rate, on a volumetric cell or on
a dedicated massic flow meter if any,
 The measurement of the average daily flow rate by level change on the
storage tank, if equipped for such measurement,
 The follow-up of tank gauging, if equipped with an automated gauging
sensor.
Weekly Average consumption determined by weekly measurement of stocks + supply

on each injection unit.
3 months to yearly Overall comparison of consumption versus specifications for each chemical
during the period with the specified injection, over the whole asset (no
detailed analysis per injection device).
Key rules
A few practical rules need to be followed for a successful application of chemical treatments:
 Injection facilities must be regularly maintained and verified. In particular, instantaneous
injection rates must be easily measurable.
 Operators must be made aware of the objectives and importance of chemical treatments,
and they must be given clear and up-dated injection specifications.
 Operators must be fully involved in the application and monitoring of these treatments, and
informed of all monitoring results associated with these treatments.
Periodic site visits of the Corrosion Control representatives must be partly devoted to a review of
treatment application and to the verification of injection devices.

Table 4.3 - Typical guidelines for microbial monitoring of production facilities

The following table provides indicative microbial monitoring programs and decision criteria
respectively for an oil production facility.
A much lighter program would of course apply to a gas production facility, on which MIC problems are
much more unlikely to occur.
In these tables, monitoring points are of two types, with distinct objectives and periodicities:
 Routine monitoring points: Regular monitoring points with fixed frequency to evaluate either
the need to apply mitigation or its efficiency, if one is applied.
 Troubleshooting points: Monitoring points implemented only in case of regular anomalies (3
consecutive tests above target values) from Routine points to better assess the extent of
contamination, or to better assess the efficiency of a treatment.
With this in mind, the following basic considerations are to be applied:

 At the start of field life, routine monitoring points are essentially the inlet and outlet of each
system (first and last vessel, inlet and outlet of pipelines).

 Troubleshooting points are essentially a full scan of the system  all components of the
system are sampled to screen for contamination hotspots.
 Troubleshooting points can then become routine monitoring points if results are constant (i.e.
within ± 1 order of magnitude of variation) for 6 months to 1 year. Their sampling frequency is
then adjusted accordingly.
The sampling frequency is also adjusted according to the system condition:
(1) Unknown system: When the microbial contamination levels are unknown. The given
frequency applies:
- During the first 4 years after field start up, with a minimum of 2 years once BS&W > 5%,
- For 6 months at least if a significant change occurs in the process (e.g. new tie-in/new
reservoir for oil production, new treated sea water/produced water injection to reservoir),
- For 6 months following a period of high contamination.
(2) Well characterized: The microbial contamination hotspots are well known, with constant
results (i.e. within ± 1 order of magnitude of variation) over 4 years of monitoring data
available.
Regarding Microbial Monitoring techniques:
 The basic microbial monitoring solution is the count of SRBs by high sensitivity serial dilution
Test-Kits: SRBs are considered as the essential causes of MIC, even though large amounts of
TRBs are also regularly measured.
