Subscribe View Sample Lesson 7:30 hours

This course describes the largely unforeseen and hence unanticipated negative consequences of internal corrosion which occurs when hydrofracking operations are undertaken. To that end, this course works through the awareness, detection and mitigative options to minimize internal corrosion of both production tubulars, surface linepipe and associated facilities.Read more...
