According to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers), the total annual cost of corrosion in petroleum refining takes up $3.7 billion in the US alone. Corrosion control is always a challenge for the downstream industry, but as the quality of feedstock is declining due to refineries accepting more of the heavy and shale gas and oil resources that are more readily available today, refinery managers, petroleum and natural gas engineers are unprepared for the new set of corrosion problems that are showing up in their equipment and processing units. <i>Oil and Gas Corrosion Prevention: From Surface Facilities to Refineries</i> quickly gets the engineer and manager up to speed on the latest types of corrosion common for these lower grade crude oils and gases as well as the best prevention methods for all of the major sections of the refinery, especially desalting and sulfur recovery units, which are the most common problem areas for unconventional feedstocks. Also covering the unique midstream sections, or point of entry to the refinery, as well as the major critical refinery equipment, <i>Oil and Gas Corrosion Prevention: From Surface Facilities to Refineries</i> offers the perfect quick cross-reference for the oil and gas community.<ul><li>Gets engineers and managers up to speed on the latest types of corrosion common for lower grade crude oils and gases </li><li>Provides the best prevention methods for all of the major sections of the refinery, especially desalting and sulfur recovery units</li><li>Covers additional topics such as unique midstream sections, or point of entry to the refinery, as well as major critical refinery equipment</li></ul>
