Corrosion is a naturally occurring cost, worth billions in the oil and gas sector. New regulations, stiffer penalties for non-compliance and aging assets are all leading companies to develop new technology, procedures and bigger budgets catering to one prevailing method of prevention, cathodic protection. Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries trains on all the necessary reports, inspection criteria, corrective measures and critical standards needed on various oil and gas equipment, structures, tanks, and pipelines. Demands in the cathodic protection market have driven development for better devices and methods, helping to prolong the equipment and pipeline’s life and integrity. Going beyond just looking for leaks, this handbook gives the engineer and manager all the necessary tools needed to put together a safe cathodic protection system, whether it is for buried casing while drilling, offshore structures or submarine pipelines. Understand how to install, inspect and engage the right cathodic protection systems for various oil and gas equipment, tanks, and pipelines Properly construct the right procedure and anodes with all relevant US and International standards that apply Gain knowledge concerning techniques, equipment, measurements and test methods used in real-world field scenarios

Trevor Holroyd maintains that a substantial part of an engineer's training relates solely to the academic and the result is that engineers may be greatly disadvantaged in the commercial world. In his book, Site management for engineers, he presents, in concise and clear terms, the practices which an engineer must understand to become competitive commercially. The book covers good site practice and management techniques, programmes, tenders, construction methods, all types of resource procurement, health and safety, planing systems and people skills. It draws on examples from the author's extensive experience of site supervision and provides engineers with a practical working guide.
