The global oil and gas industry faces growing challenges in safeguarding its infrastructure against corrosion, a phenomenon responsible for significant asset degradation and financial losses. Corrosion has become a pressing concern as the industry grapples with aging pipelines, storage tanks, and other critical facilities. According to the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), the annual global cost of corrosion exceeds $2.5 trillion, representing nearly 3-4% of the global GDP. This staggering figure highlights the urgency of adopting effective corrosion control strategies to mitigate risks, extend asset life, and ensure operational safety.
Cathodic Protection (CP) is one of the most reliable methods to combat corrosion, offering long-term solutions for preserving industrial assets. Developed over 160 years ago, CP works by leveraging electrochemical principles to prevent metal corrosion. Despite its historical success, the implementation of Cathodic Protection systems often suffers due to a lack of specialized knowledge, resulting in inefficiencies or unanticipated challenges.
