Corrosion Control in Oil & Gas Industry

Program Overview

Above-ground storage tanks play a critical role in oil & gas facilities, and their integrity directly impacts safety, environmental protection, and operational reliability. This 4-day live online training is designed to provide participants with a practical and standards-based understanding of AST inspection, maintenance, and integrity management.

The program focuses on API 653 requirements, corrosion mechanisms affecting storage tanks, and effective inspection and maintenance practices. Participants will gain insight into risk-based inspection (RBI) concepts, common damage mechanisms, and preventive strategies to extend tank service life and avoid unplanned failures.

Through real-world examples and expert-led discussions, this course bridges the gap between codes, field experience, and day-to-day integrity decisions, making it highly valuable for engineers, inspectors, and maintenance professionals involved in storage tank management.
