Pipeline External Stress Corrosion Cracking: Oil and gas buried pipelines are externally protected by a combination of coatings/wrappings and cathodic protection. When the coating or wrapping fails, water can accumulate between the coating/wrapping and the pipeline steel surface. The composition of such accumulated water can result in external stress corrosion

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic problem-solving process for identifying the fundamental causes of faults, failures, or incidents, rather than just addressing their immediate symptoms. In high-hazard environments like refineries, petrochemical plants, and chemical facilities, RCA is crucial for safety and reliability. By digging into why an issue occurred,

In the oil and gas industry, ensuring the structural integrity of assets is critical to safety, efficiency, and profitability. Equipment such as pressure vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks are continuously exposed to extreme temperatures, pressures, and corrosive substances, leading to degradation over time. This is where Fitness-for-Service (FFS) Assessment comes

Hydrostatic Testing in Oil and Gas is a critical non-destructive testing (NDT) method used in the oil and gas industry to verify the strength, integrity, and leak-tightness of pressure vessels, pipelines, and other pressurized systems. This testing method ensures that new and existing pipelines, storage tanks, and pressure vessels meet
