Summary:

Underground pipelines transporting liquid petroleum products and natural gas are critical components of civil infrastructure, making corrosion prevention an essential part of asset-protection strategy. Underground pipeline corrosion provides both a basic understanding of the problems associated with corrosion detection and mitigation and the state of the art in corrosion prevention.The topics covered in part one include: basic principles for corrosion in underground pipelines, AC-induced corrosion of underground pipelines, significance of corrosion in onshore oil and gas pipelines, num
