NACE International An Introduction to Asset Corrosion Management in the Oil and Gas Industry, Third Edition

In the eight years since the first edition of this book was published by NACE International, the demand for corrosion management expertise and services (i.e., training, auditing, consultancy, and field implementation) has been growing, both within the hydrocarbon and the non-hydrocarbon industries.This latest edition is almost a total revamp of the previous one and greatly benefits from the author’s continuous learning process through his frequent involvement with various oil and gas sectors and different industries as a corrosion management trainer, auditor, and consultant.Since the latter half of 2015, when he started working as an independent corrosion engineering and corrosion management consultant, he has been increasingly engaged with numerous upstream-, midstream-, and downstream oil and gas assets as well as in various non-hydrocarbon industries. Such continuous encounters have taught him many new valuable lessons and provided him with a much deeper insight into how we often manage our assets’ integrity, our strengths and weaknesses, the sometimes very trivial causes of our integrity oversights and mistakes, and so on. He has done his best to reflect all such new learning and improved asset integrity management insight in this book. About the Author Ali Morshed received his M.Sc. degree from Imperial College London in 1997, and his Ph.D. from University College London in 2002-both in corrosion engineering. He then moved to Aberdeen, Scotland and worked for a number of different U.K. companies from 2002 to 2013 as a corrosion engineer. In 2013, he joined Saudi Aramco for two years before becoming a consulting corrosion engineer in the latter half of 2015. He has so far worked on asset integrity management, corrosion engineering, and corrosion management projects both with engineering and operating companies in the U.K.'s North Sea, North Africa, the Persian Gulf Region, and South Asia. Dr. Morshed is the author of the NACE International book, An Introduction to Asset Corrosion Management in the Oil and Gas Industry (2012), whose second edition was published in 2016, and the third edition (this current book) in 2020. He has also authored two more books on this subject for both the hydrocarbon and the non-hydrocarbon industries. In addition, he has been providing corrosion management training for the hydrocarbon industry since 2005, and for the non-hydrocarbon industry since 2016. Dr. Morshed has also taught the same topic to postgraduate students in Robert Gordon University in the U.K. He is a regular contributor to NACE International's Materials Performance (MP) magazine on the subjects of corrosion management and microbial induced corrosion (MIC). Currently, he spends the majority of his time providing corrosion management services (i.e., training, auditing, and consultancy) for both the hydrocarbon and the non-hydrocarbon industries.
