5. Conclusion

Controlling corrosion in oil and gas industry equipment is based on in-depth knowledge of damage mechanisms, and on a wealth of experience capitalized on and exchanged within the industry, as illustrated in this article. To find technically and economically reliable solutions, the industry's work on corrosion has resulted in numerous specifications and standards, such as the specifications for steels to resist various forms of hydrogen damage for equipment in contact with aqueous effluents containing dihydrogen sulfide.

Throughout its history, this industry has faced new challenges in developing equipment that can withstand new types of aggressive environments and operating conditions that increase corrosion, such as the operation of oil fields containing large quantities of acid gases or highly acid crudes. New "corrosion" challenges are currently being faced,...
