Overview
The global annual cost of corrosion is estimated at US $ 2.5 trillion, equivalent to approximately 3.4 percent of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Time-tested and proven methodologies to control corrosion are corrosion inhibitors, coatings, cathodic protection, and materials.
Learning Objectives
Identify types of inhibitors and inhibitor mechanisms
Understand the basic components of the corrosion inhibitor package
Comprehend various properties affecting corrosion inhibitor performance in the laboratory and in the field (ASTM G170 and ASTM G205)
Correlate field operating conditions and laboratory test conditions
Recognize various laboratory methodologies to test corrosion inhibitors according to G170
Perform tests using high shear stress tests including rotating cage (ASTM G184), rotating cylinder electrode (ASTM G185), jet impingement (ASTM G208), and flow loop
Conduct tests using low shear stress tests including wheel test, static test, and rotating disc electrode (RDE)
Identify inhibitor interaction with other chemicals including biocides, foamers, defoamers, scale inhibitors, and dewaxing chemicals
Grasp merits and demerits of various laboratory test methods
Recognize the importance of knowing the precision and bias of laboratory tests (ASTM G202)
Select inhibitors based on laboratory test data for field application
Apply appropriate corrosion inhibitors in the field Batch inhibitors and continuous corrosion inhibitors
Water soluble and oil soluble corrosion inhibitors. Their advantages and disadvantages
Corrosion inhibitors for gas systems
Corrosion inhibitors for sour systems and systems with elemental sulfur
Corrosion inhibitor application for gas systems
Monitor inhibitor performance in the field using electrochemical (ASTM G96), electrical (ASTM G96), iron and manganese counts, and coupons
Determine how much corrosion inhibitor decreases corrosion rate in the field

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?
The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.
Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?
These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.
How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
