SUMMARY:ICorr London Branch’ Speaker name – Brian Bennett\, ChampionX
DESCRIPTION:Speaker name: Brian Bennett\nPresentation title:  Development of Multifunctional Corrosion Inhibitor Products Used for Cleaning Produced Water Systems \nOil and gas produced water handling systems can be prone to fouling. Fouling can occur from incomplete separation resulting in hydrocarbon carrying through to the water handling infrastructure. Other particulates can also carry through or form due to the changing conditions as the fluids and gas are processed. As the fluids cool and acid gases are flashed off increased scaling tendencies and iron sulphide formation can occur. The hydrocarbon can act like a glue that helps to bind the other particulates together and deposit on the pipe surfaces. Deposition also creates areas for bacteria to proliferate. Corrosion mechanisms change from those created by the acid gases dissolved in the water to under-deposit or microbiologically influenced corrosion when heavy fouling occurs. \nThis presentation outlines the laboratory work undertaken to develop a chemical solution for oilfield cleaning of hydrocarbon\, iron sulphide and calcium carbonate scale deposition while maintaining a product compatible with mild steel such that it could be stored or applied in carbon steel infrastructure. In addition to the development work it will highlight the application of the product in the field in a salt water processing facility experiencing deposition issues. \nBiography: Brian Bennett began working in the oil and gas chemicals sector in research and development 15 years ago developing corrosion inhibitors and biocides in addition to corrosion inhibitor and microbiological test methods. He started with Nalco Company in the United States and now leads a research team out of the United Kingdom supporting ChampionX business in the European\, Asia Pacific\, Sub Saharan Africa and Middle East sectors. \nQualifications: Bachelors of Science in Chemistry\, Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology \nSchedule:\n18:00 – Arrival at venue\n18:30 – Presentation\n19:15 – Q&A followed by refreshments / networking \nVenue:\nLancaster Hall Hotel\n​35 Craven Terrace\nLondon\nW2 3EL \nNearest Tube / Train Station: Paddington Station (approx. 5 mins walk)

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch - Joint Meeting with The Energy Institute
DESCRIPTION:In-Person / Online\nZoom Registration for virtual attendees\nRegistration: Mandatory\, via EI website \nStating – ICorr Member or Non-Member. Event is Free of Charge to attend.\nSpeaker: Roland Anderson – Axess Corrosion\, Texas\nSubject: Internal Corrosion Monitoring Systems – Advanced safety through innovation \nAbout the Talk: Internal Corrosion Monitoring Systems – Enhanced Safety through Innovation This talk focuses on new solutions to problems related to intrusive corrosion monitoring systems. This is an opportunity to learn about the work of Axess Corrosion and to evaluate innovations relating to the safety of intrusive corrosion monitoring devices. Wherever possible we have ensured that we have a very low impact on work procedures\, but a significant impact on risk assessment. The purpose is to grow user confidence in intrusive monitoring so that the benefits of integrated systems can be realized. We’ll first look at some examples of incidents ranging in severity from loss of containment to fatality and the look at the design changes that can provide new layers of protection and prevent reoccurrence. The specific products covered include retrieval equipment for monitoring devices changeouts under pressure as well as the access fittings that house the devices. We’ll present the benefits achieved from major operators across the globe and the impact on intrusive internal monitoring campaigns. User feedback and references will be presented along with details of pilot projects from an Operational Viewpoint. We’ll also discuss the potential for repurposing access fittings and how to deal with them if they are no longer required for your monitoring program. \nBiography: Roland Anderson has over 20 years’ experience in the Oil & Gas industry focused on internal corrosion monitoring programs across the globe. He has developed and established businesses in many locations including the UK\, Middle East\, Australia\, China\, and the USA.  The last several years have been primarily focused on business development and product innovation aimed at improving safety. \nAdditional Information: \n\nRegistration for this event may close 24 hours before the start.\nHybrid: In-Person Venue / Online.\nRegistration information will be shared with our Branch volunteers to help facilitate the event.\n\nFor ‘Continuing Professional Development’ (CPD) or to join our Mailing List\, request by email ICorrabz@gmail.com \nEvent Sponsors (ICorr): We gratefully acknowledge all our loyal – ABERDEEN BRANCH SPONSORS \n

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch Event - ICorr Technical Event + AGM
DESCRIPTION:Company/Speaker: PIM / Martin Worth (Director)\nF2F meeting.\nVenue for In-person attendees: Palm Court Hotel\, Seafield Rd\, Aberdeen AB15 7YX\nZoom Registration link for virtual attendees: Please click here for link \nSECEs: it’s time for a rethink. \nThe oil and gas industry was shaken to its core on 7/7/88 when 167 people perished in the Piper Alpha disaster. The Cullen inquiry led to safety case regulations being established and we moved to a goal setting safety regime; characterised by the introduction of PFEER and DCR – put in place to ensure that duty holders of offshore installations deal appropriately with the requirements to provide measures to prevent\, mitigate and respond to major accidents.\nPerformance standards based around Functionality\, Availability\, Reliability and Survivability became the norm. Today\, these are referred to as Safety and Environmental Critical Elements (SECE) and according to the regulations\, can be hardware or software\, including management systems.\nSetting performance standards for certain types of hardware is challenging. A performance standard for a pipe or vessel may state that it shouldn’t leak. We shouldn’t be waiting for items to leak before we consider them to have failed as SECEs. \nHardware shouldn’t be the principal SECE. We claim to be carrying out assurance but are doing little more than inspection. This incorrectly leaves the assurance elements of the process to the verifier. \nChanging the emphasis of SECEs to focus on management systems and Integrity Management Systems (IMS) would deliver increased efficiency and reduced costs. \nIf it can be demonstrated that the IMS is well formulated and correctly implemented this will automatically confirm that the elements it covers are inspected\, their functionality confirmed\, anomalies managed\, repairs carried out\, backlogs controlled\, planning addressed\, and their condition endorsed. Thus removing the need for the specific assurance of individual items.

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch Event - ICorr Technical Event
DESCRIPTION:Company / Speaker: University of Manchester / Dr.  Robert Lindsay\nZoom Event – More Information to follow \nCorrosion Inhibition: Separating Fact from Fiction \nFor more than a century\, surface-active organic species have been employed to control the corrosion of metals/alloys.  Given suitable selection\, such corrosion inhibitors have proven to be highly effective\, preventing significant degradation of metallic substrates even in highly aggressive environments.  Nevertheless\, there are still considerable gaps in fundamental knowledge of corrosion inhibitor functionality\, severely restricting further innovation.  For example\, corrosion inhibition in acidic solutions is widely reported to be the result of the adsorption of a monolayer of surface-actives.  This description\, however\, can be considered to be largely a cartoon\, as there is a significant lack of supporting experimental evidence.  Many key details remain uncertain\, including the surface chemistry of the inhibited substrate\, the structure of the adsorbed layer\, and even its surface coverage.  Such information is key input for researchers attempting to predict corrosion inhibitor functionality through atomic scale interfacial modelling\, and so identify next generation chemistries \nIn this presentation\, following an introduction to corrosion inhibition in acidic solutions\, I will discuss effort to reveal details of corrosion inhibitor-substrate interactions through detailed interface characterisation.  For example\, I will discuss recent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results\, indicating that the chemistry of the inhibited interface is dependent on both inhibitor concentration and acid identity.  In addition\, I will present data demonstrating that surface adsorption is not always sufficient for achieving the target corrosion inhibition efficiency\, i.e. it will be shown that a surface-active can be bound to the surface\, but not lead to sufficient reduction in corrosion rate.  Moreover\, I will use XPS data to argue that the widely adopted approach of determining the standard Gibbs energy of adsorption of a corrosion inhibitor from measured inhibitor efficiencies is flawed\, and so should not be relied upon as a tool for corrosion inhibitor selection

SUMMARY:London Branch March technical talk – “Flint Water Crisis – Corrosion\, Management and Politics” (In person/Online)
DESCRIPTION:The March technical talk\,“Flint Water Crisis – Corrosion\, Management and Politics”\, by Dr Ben Moorhouse.The meeting will be held at the Lancaster Hall Hotel\, 35 Craven Terrace\, London W2 3EL\, and streamed online for those who can not attend in person. \nThe town Flint\, Michigan suffered one of the worst water crisis in the United States of America\, when in 2014 the tap water supply began to be poisoned with corrosion products and other toxins. Hundreds of thousands of Flint residents were exposed to dangerous levels of lead and outbreaks of Legionnaires disease that caused deaths and long term health problems. This talk will focus on the decisions that led to this outcome\, the corrosion engineering around ensuring safe water sources and the importance of ensuring a greater understanding of corrosion issues in relation to environmental issues. \nBen Moorhouse is a materials\, corrosion and inspection engineer with a decade’s worth of experience involved with various engineering projects and operations. He studied at Imperial College and completed a PhD focusing on thermodynamic processes to remove impurities from titanium alloys. As part of his day to day\, he is Chairperson of the London Branch of the Institute of Corrosion\, a Fellow of the Institute of Materials\, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) and a Chartered Engineer. He is excited by the engineering challenges to come with delivering stable and low carbon energy\, as well as focusing on improving diversity and inclusion in Science Technology and Mathematics (STEM). \nTo join the meeting online follow the link \nIf you have any questions email icorrlondon@gmail.com \n

DESCRIPTION:Company/Speaker: Intertek Production & Integrity Assurance / Leo Richards\n\nRegistration for the Event Please click here for link: Webinar Registration – Zoom \nICorr Member or Non-Member Event is Free of Charge to attend. \nImplementation of Plan-Do-Check-Act review of an Onshore Oil and Gas Operator’s Corrosion Management Policy and Actions \nHSG-65 alongside the Energy Institutes Corrosion Management Guidelines were used as the basis for the audit of a large onshore Middle Eastern oil field. The purpose of the Study was to perform a detailed review of the corrosion monitoring and mitigation systems and to propose any required upgrades to ensure world class / excellent asset integrity performance. \nThe approach taken to the Study was to follow the UK Health & Safety Executive’s guidance for “Managing Health and Safety”\, HSG65 (2013)\, of PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT\, which considers both Technical and Systems approaches associated with managing assets safely. This is a closed loop planetary model commencing with a high-level Corporate Policy for health and safety\, under which there is a Policy and Plan for managing corrosion and integrity. The model ends with lessons learned which feeds back into the corrosion and integrity Policy and Plan to ensure risks are managed to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).\nThe study highlighted a distinct pattern in the working practices of the operator with virtually all of the sections of the corrosion management system being shown to have some form of Plan and Do however the implementation of a Check and Act stage was missing from virtually all aspects \nPlease see Flyer and Latest Programme of Events  \n

SUMMARY:Engineering Ethics: Maintaining society’s trust in the engineering profession
DESCRIPTION:Engineering shapes our world and it is crucial to ensure the public has confidence that the profession acts ethically and all those working in engineering are invited to an online event to mark the publication of this new report. \nOpinion surveys indicate that the engineering profession is generally respected by the public – the latest Ipsos MORI Veracity Index shows 84% of respondents trust engineers to tell the truth. But it is important that the ethical practice of engineering continues to evolve and we do not become complacent. \nThe ‘Engineering Ethics’ report proposes a series of actions for the engineering profession to take forward with the aim of promoting a more ethical culture within engineering. It has been produced by the joint Engineering Ethics Reference Group (EERG)\, established by the Engineering Council and the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) in 2019\, chaired by Professor David Bogle CEng FIChemE FREng\, Deputy President of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). \nThe event\, which is free to attend\, will include a panel discussion with Professor Bogle\, Chi Onwurah MP\, Engineering Council Chairman Professor Chris Atkin CEng FRAeS FREng\, Dr Ollie Folayan CEng FIChemE\, co-founder of AFBE-UK\, and others. \nRegister to attend at 6pm on 21 February \nRead the Statement of Ethical Principles

SUMMARY:London Branch Online Event
DESCRIPTION:“A diversified approach to utilizing volatile corrosion Inhibitors (VCI)’’ – Talk by Philip Low\, European/Middle East/GCC Business Development Manager\, Zerust Oil & Gas. \nThe presentation will shed light on various approaches using volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI’) technology in mitigating corrosion on pipelines\, pipeline casing protection and above ground storage  tanks. \nFinally\, a novel methodology for addressing CUI and Scab Repairs using a self-amalgamating inhibitor  fused tape: \nWhat are VCIs and How Do They Work.   \nAn explainer and short animation on how the technology works in a 3 phased protective approach. \nAbove Ground Storage Tanks (AST’s)   \nWe never know when\, but ultimately all CP systems under storage tanks fail. When they do\, there are not  very many easy or inexpensive ways to repair or replace them. Whether you are building new tanks or  involved in an API 653 inspection and the data indicates that the CP is not protecting everywhere\, it is  possible to install a backup plan. \nThis presentation will examine the installation of VCI delivery systems for various civil configurations and  geometries. \nWith changes to regulations in the US\, VCI can be used to mitigate corrosion under tank floors in  conjunction with CP or in many cases\, in lieu of CP. Information on the delivery system options will be  presented\, and data demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between VCI and CP will be shared. There  are several delivery system designs based on the foundation design of the tank. These minor modifications to a tank foundation can significantly reduce cost and downtime in the future. \nSummary: What do you do when your Cathodic Protection system does not last until the 653 Inspection?  Can you build in a backup system inexpensively and easily? This discussion will examine options which  can be utilized or installed during a current inspection or construction which may enable the enhancement  of a weak or failed CP system\, prior to the next inspection. \nPipeline Casing Protection and Using VCIs  \nNACE and PHMSA (DOT) have ratified the use Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI’s) as a corrosion  mitigation strategy\, \nThis presentation will focus on what the regulations from NACE\, CEOCOR and PHMSA (DOT) have  ratified the use Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI’s) as a corrosion mitigation strategy\, and how they  describe Multiphase delivery options including: “Dry Powder”\, “Gel” and “Slurry” applications and when to  choose each. Case studies will be shared from the most common Gel applications. \nVCI’s to Prevent Generalized Internal and Microbial Internal Corrosion in Facility Pipes  \nA recurring issue during the construction and commissioning of facility pipe assets is the creation of internal  corrosion threats due to leftover hydrotest water. Available methods for removing the water entirely\, or  applying inhibitor chemicals to the hydrotest medium\, are time-consuming and expensive. A major Oil and  Gas client applied vaporous corrosion inhibitor (VCI) chemicals in lieu of other methods which would  mitigate the internal corrosion threats. This method proved to be very effective at mitigating both biological  and generalized internal corrosion. A case study will be shared. \nA Novel Methodology For Addressing Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) and Scab Repairs Utilizing  Corrosion Inhibitor Impregnated Self-Amalgamating Silicone Based Tape  \nZerust Inhibitor Tape (ZIF) was specifically designed to combat the many areas to address when we  evaluate a corrosion protection mechanism for CUI and Scab repairs\, the main challenge is creating a  physical barrier between the steel substrate and insulation medium. \nZIF provides this barrier in the form of a robust silicone based self-amalgamating tape\, in addition to the  robust outer nature of the tape; it is also impregnated with a corrosion inhibitor to combat any potential  water or sweating of the line. \nFinally\, the tape is translucent to allow ease during inspection and due to ZIF having no glues/resins/primers for the adhesion mechanism; the tape is easily removed for allowing inspection  cycles. The tape has also recently passed ISO-19277 \nPreservation of assets during idle or mothballed periods including spare parts and critical spare  parts  \nOil platforms including MDU’s\, fixed\, land and FPSOs are an integral part of modern day oil production. Not  surprisingly\, the number of rigs in operation at any given time is tied directly to the price of crude oil. The collapse  of oil prices in 2020 due to the global pandemic has caused a large number of rigs to be mothballed albeit cold\,  warm or hot stacked as well as many high value critical spares to sit idle for prolonged periods of time\, which of  course they are never designed or engineered to do so. \nAn offshore oil platform is a very expensive asset\, as is all associated parts and equipment; the average cost of an  offshore rig is around $650+ million. As such\, it is critical to put in place a robust preservation strategy to  safeguard and prolong asset/equipment life. This statement is also true for spare parts and critical spare parts  during storage and lay up\, the topic will cover proactive approaches to preservation. \nAbout the presenter: \nPhilip Low\, European/Middle East/GCC Business Development Manager Zerust Oil & Gas. \nPhil brings 25+ years’ experience in the Global Oil and Gas industry. \nHaving developed a wide range of skills within project and site managerial roles across the Uk and Norwegian O&G sectors\, His understanding of the many challenges faced by maintenance and construction teams in this environment is invaluable when dealing with our customers and clients and the many problematic issues they face. \nWith responsibility for asset and corrosion management and fabric maintenance on various onshore and offshore facilities\, Phil has continued to add to his knowledge and help develop new preventative techniques for a number of issues surrounding these facilities. This has included Refineries\, Tank Farms and Offshore platforms. \nWith this proven track record in corrosion management and coating application\, Phil has brought a new understanding of the challenges faced by these different types of sites and an ability to deliver cradle to grave project management for clients. Ever the innovator\, he developed and headed a global tank and terminal maintenance team to help identify\, assess and prevent a range of corrosion issues on Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST’s)\, Pipelines\, Jetties and the associated valves and fittings. He continues to show a keen desire to bring new solutions to old problems and is often involved in new think tanks and innovation groups. \nPhil is also an active member of Nace and CEOCOR. \nTo join the meeting click on this link \n
