Scale, or deposits, can build up in the wellbore tubulars and other downhole components, causing considerable damage to the life of the well. Infrastructure provides the support for the wells system and with oil and gas consumption on the rise and transportation required to feed that demand, all petroleum and pipeline engineers must have accurate corrosion and scaling information. The Fundamentals of Corrosion and Scaling for Petroleum and Environmental Engineers will provide the quick knowledge that engineers need to not only enhance the reliability of corrosion and scale control technologies but also manage scale deposits, prevent fatigue and ensure equipment integrity.

The first three papers present fundamental concepts of anode resistance. The fourth paper pertains to ships. Papers fifve and six deal primarily with underground pipelines, while papers seven through eleven are concerned with offshore pipelines and platforms. The underlying principles in all the papers are applicable to any practical application of anode resistance."

This comprehensive handbook covers all aspects of cathodic protection in terms of both practice and theory.
