This study is focused on description, discussion and analysis of the different technologies available against external corrosion in offshore export pipelines and its suitability for the Venezuelan pipeline offshore projects. Several anti-corrosive protective coatings and concrete weight coating were evaluated.
Venezuelan new developments in offshore area involves the design and installation of different pipelines platform and subsea equipments. One of these projects is The Dragon-CIGMA Gas Export Pipeline Project with approximately 110 km long and 36-inch diameter subsea gas export pipeline. This line will be the first subsea Gas pipeline operated by PDVSA in offshore conditions at the North East coasts of Venezuela. This pipeline provided many design and construction challenges among these was the selection and application of the anti-corrosion and concrete weight coating systems. This study is focused at the description discussion and analysis of the different technologies available against external corrosion in offshore export pipelines and its suitability for the Venezuelan pipeline offshore projects. Coatings are the primary method of protecting the external surface of metallic pipeline from the corrosive effects of seawater and sediment. Several protective coating systems were evaluated in order to achieve the design requirements established. Concrete weight coating application methods were also evaluated and one method was selected and employed (wrapping method). Due to the large diameter of the pipeline (36-inches) bonding between the concrete weight coating and the corrosion coating was an important concern in order to prevent slippage due to the high lay-tensions imposed on the pipeline during installation. It is important to understand and assume that every project is different and that an in-depth study is needed to ensure the best performance of both the anti-corrosive coating and concrete weight coating selected.

Chemical treatment of reservoir fluids within the wellbore is essential for the control of associated corrosion and scale deposition. The Wafra Risk Assessment was developed with the Likelihood of Failure (LoF) based on historical corrosion well workover failures and the Consequence of Failure (CoF) directly tied to oil daily oil production.

As part of a project to develop a database of seawater corrosion resistance including resistance to microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC) seawater, MIC exposure tests of five stainless steel alloys were undertaken for three and six month durations.
Fatigue and fracture performance of UNS N07718 (718) and UNS N07716 (625+) in sour environments over a range of temperatures (300 to 400°F) and chloride concentrations (0.15wt% to 25wt% NaCl). Rising displacement fracture toughness test performed in a range of environments.
