Features: The book consists of 7 chapters, covering corrosion and protection technologies in the upstream and downstream integration of the petroleum industry from three major industrial sectors: petroleum, petrochemicals, and marine industries. It provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to corrosion and protection technologies for different production systems, devices, and protection targets in industrial production, including drilling, oil production, gathering and transportation systems, acidic oil and gas fields, marine and coastal oil and gas fields, refining equipment, pipelines, and storage tanks. The content highlights the design, construction, and production management aspects of corrosion and protection, including practical technologies such as protective coatings, cathodic protection, chemical agents, material selection, testing, and evaluation in the petroleum industry, as well as new technologies developed in recent years both domestically and internationally. The book also cites numerous industrial application examples, which are highly beneficial for understanding the introduced technologies and gaining insights into the actual practices of corrosion and protection technologies and management in the petroleum industry. Written by production technology experts in the petroleum, petrochemicals, and marine industries, the book is practical, advanced, and forward-looking, reflecting the overall level of corrosion and protection technologies in the current petroleum industry. It is suitable for engineering technicians, designers, operators, and production personnel in the petroleum industry and related fields; it can also serve as a learning and reference material for students and teachers in relevant disciplines at universities and colleges.
