Pipeline flow model

Pinpoint internal corrosion potential with the CorrosionWATCH flow model.

Its advanced algorithms use oil/gas/water properties, pipeline specifications, pipeline profiles, and production information to pinpoint potential corrosion hotspots.

Pipeline data management

Manage change by linking to your internal production software.

CorrosionWATCH keeps data current by linking to software programs such as FieldView and PVR.

Production data is updated automatically saving time and resources.

Advanced Reporting

CorrosionWatch reporting features allows client flexible reporting and the ability to export to Microsoft Exel.

Customize your own reports to monitor changes, report maintenance schedules, and track mitigation.

A One-Stop Solution to Assess and Control Internal Pipeline Corrosion

CorrosionWATCH is a highly predictive software tool that determines where corrosion is likely to occur in oil and gas pipelines. Based on proven algorithms and widely accepted industry practices, CorrosionWATCH uses data on oil & gas production and pipeline characteristics to identify potential corrosion.

The program easily scales from a company with dozens of pipelines, to one with thousands of pipelines.

Proven Predictive Ability

CorrosionWATCH has been rigorously field tested for more than five years on hundreds of lines with known failure history. This extensive field testing on sour and sweet oil and gas lines ensures that theory matches reality. A demonstration database containing actual cases is included so you can see the data for yourself.

Ease of Use

CorrosionWATCH color-codes at-risk areas (red, yellow, green,) making it easy for anyone to interpret results, regardless of technical skill in the corrosion arena.

The product creates a graphical “side-view” of your pipeline that is color-coded for immediate recognition of high-risk areas. At the click of a mouse at any point on the pipeline, it also displays flow, production, and corrosion assessment information for that specific point.

Corrosion information includes predicted likelihood scores, corrosion mechanisms, and corrosion rates.

Advanced Predictive Features

CorrosionWATCH allows you to play out "what-if" scenarios of inhibitor programs or varying pig effectiveness and instantly see the effect, colorcoded, on your pipeline. A simple check box allows you to apply these maintenance programs on the fly to graphically show their real effect.

Historical conditions can form a pattern for prediction. CorrosionWATCH automatically updates a complete history record for each pipeline every time a corrosion scan is performed.

Using these past records as a reference, you can easily identify historical conditions that may in fact be creating your problem. Long-term use of CorrosionWATCH develops this historical catalog and provides the key to a comprehensive corrosion management strategy. Over time, CorrosionWatch helps clients build an even stronger correlation to specific issues in each field, and can quickey identify the influence of changing operating conditions.

CorrosionWATCH even reduces the chance of oversight with user-defined thresholds and automatic alerts that can be set to notify you when highrisk areas reach unacceptable levels.

Self-Documenting

From its database, CorrosionWATCH self-compiles a range of reports, including:

• Detailed physical descriptions of the entire pipeline network.
• Corrosion probability assessments.
• Pipeline data on production and chemicals, oil and gas composition, etc.
• Inspection and maintenance alerts.
• Inspection and maintenance history.

This feature can greatly simplify in-house management reports, as well as regulatory reporting.
