Location of University of Leeds
Corrosion in the oil and gas sector is one of the major flow assurance issues. From an economic point of view the efficient management of corrosion ensures that oil and gas can be recovered from wells for longer. Corrosion is also a major cause of hydrocarbon leaks and so safety drives the technological advances in corrosion control.
This course will provide you with skills in corrosion measurement, asset integrity assessment, corrosion prediction and corrosion management to enable you to practice in the dynamic oil and gas sector.
With this qualification, excellent career options are open to you to practice as a professional corrosion engineer and play a major role in ensuring the safe and efficient recovery of natural resources.
"This course, that helps develop qualified corrosion engineers, comes at an opportune time in the oil and gas industry given the increased severity of corrosion and ageing facilities worldwide." Senior Engineer, Saudi Aramco
