This paper give guidelines for the material selection and corrosion control philosophies for topside process (multiphase/crude gas and produced water) and utility (raw seawater de-aerated sweater cooling/heating media chemical injection etc) piping and equipment. For process piping and equipment the paper discuses CO2 internal corrosion predictions on carbon steel as well as pitting and chloride stress cracking of corrosion resistant alloys due to high chloride contents in the produced water. For the utility systems the paper discusses the corrosivity of the internal fluids and establishes suitable materials. The paper also addresses external corrosion control strategies based on using high durability painting systems supported by adequate surface preparation requirements.
