Corrosion specialists Cosasco has been awarded $3million worth of contracts to roll out its “flagship” technology for a major Middle East operator.
The firm will install a variety of corrosion monitoring systems, including 80 intrusive MICROCOR ER probes, 48 corrosion coupon assemblies and 18 chemical injection points at two offshore fields – one gas and one oil.
The company is also providing consultancy, manufacturing, in-field support and a long-term warranty.
The work will be carried out later this year in association with L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE).
The corrosion monitoring system will transmit high quality data to a monitoring server at a central location.
From here, the operator will be able to analyse the data to support informed decision making that extends asset life, maximises production and minimises the risk of outages.
Challenges faced by the operator include extreme high pressures and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in the throughput.
Cosasco’s MICROCOR probes are specifically designed for H2S applications.
