Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industry
Monday April 16th – Friday April 20th 2012
The Corrosion and Protection Centre, School of Materials, The University of Manchester.
At the Corrosion and Protection Centre, we have been offering intensive short courses in corrosion for forty years. We have the largest academic research group concerned with corrosion and corrosion control in the world; studies embrace metal, natural stone, concrete, polymers and new advanced materials.
This inaugural course in Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industries has been designed for professionals and recently appointed graduates working in the field of oil and gas. Guided
by world leaders in the field, you will explore principles and protection strategies.
The combination of teaching methods – formal lectures, case studies and practical sessions – will maximise the learning process and your understanding of the subject.
Course tutors
The Course Director is Professor David Scantlebury the senior Professor in the School of Materials. The Course Coordinator will be Don Harrop, Visiting Professor in the Corrosion and Protection Centre and ex BP. All the staff involved in this course have international and established reputations in the multidisciplinary field of corrosion and are drawn from the Corrosion and Protection research group, INTERTEK CAPCIS, or are private consultants in the industry.
The course runs over five days and covers a variety of industry-relevant topics. You can register for the full five-day course or pick individual days.
