From the rise of the electric car to extensive data tracking around the globe, green initiatives and rapid change at first seemed threatening to the oil and gas industry — but oil and gas businesses are finding that advanced technology can be their key to cutting costs and staying competitive.…
In the oil and gas industry, protecting massive carbon steel assets from corrosion is a continual challenge around the world, including China, particularly along coastline exposed to high humidity and salty air near oceans or other bodies of water Read the full article here.
CUI, which involves the corrosion of vessels or piping beneath insulation due to water penetration, is insidious because it can remain undetected until the insulation is removed for inspection or leaks occur. Water penetration can result from many causes including monsoons, rain, flooding, washdowns, and sprinkler systems, as well as…
Unplanned refinery downtime is a significant drain for companies in the oil and gas industry. Unexpected downtime not only costs your business time and money, but it can also have a ripple effect in delaying future schedules, production, equipment maintenance, and more. Corrosion is a large cause of unplanned refinery…
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is the root cause of many of the global petrochemical industry’s most serious problems including forced shutdowns, lost production, early repair and replacement, as well as safety and environmental consequences that can cost millions of dollars per incident.

Del Williams, EonCoat, USA, outlines how a new anti-corrosion coating can help mines, quarries and aggregate bulk processing sites avoid corrosion and wear and their steel hoppers. Read the full article here.
From upstream wells, risers, drilling rigs, or offshore platforms, to midstream pipelines, storage, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, to downstream refineries, fighting CUI and major corrosion has been an uphill battle and a major cost in the operation of oil and gas facilities, according to NACE International’s “International Measures…
While corrosion is a serious issue in virtually all oil, gas, pipeline and industrial facilities, it is a particular challenge for the liquid natural gas (LNG) sector. LNG facilities must remain corrosion resistant despite rapid growth in areas prone to high humidity, rainfall and monsoons. Read the Full article here.
EonCoat is an innovative coating that provides LNG facilities a long-term solution to fighting atmospheric corrosion even in monsoon vulnerable environments while minimizing production downtime and increasing safety. Read the full article here.
The ravages of salt water can wreck even the sturdiest offshore and onshore structures. Wind-blown salt from bodies of saltwater can deposit on surfaces and accumulate over time. As one of the planet’s most abundant sources of corrosion, salt can combine with the chemicals and materials used in many maritime industries…
