Description

FOREWORD

The practical value of corrosion countermeasures, no matter how
perfect they may be in the
theoretical or laboratory sense, depends upon certain knowledge and
attitudes on the part of
foremen, pumpers, well tenders, and individuals with related
responsibilities. This book is
directed at field operating personnel, in the hope that steady use
will enhance the knowledge and
attitudes mentioned, specifically:

Appreciation of the enormous cost of oilfield corrosion.

Ability to recognize early indications of corrosion.

Awareness of the importance of early reporting.

Desire to take effective part in the solution.

The book is not intended to produce technical experts. Therefore, it
makes full use of the simplest
possible terms and descriptions. The control measures it describes are
only typical, and should not
be automatically accepted as the best solution for any specific
problem. The circumstances of
corrosion vary widely, and technical advice should always be sought
when causes are obscure, or
cost or severity is high.

This second edition was prepared by an Ad Hoc Task Group with guidance
and review by the API
Production Department Executive Committee on Training and Development.
It updates and supersedes
the 1958 first edition. The first edition was developed in cooperation
with the National
Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), which later issued a
separate publication: NACE TPC
Publication No. 5, Corrosion Control in Petroleum Production.
Personnel needing a more thorough
understanding of corrosion technology may obtain that and other
technical publications from: NACE,
