Internal Corrosion Problems Associated with Hydraulic Fracturing

X:XX Hours
This course describes the largely unforeseen and hence unanticipated negative consequences of internal corrosion which occurs when hydrofracking operations are undertaken. To that end, this course works through the awareness, detection and mitigative options to minimize internal corrosion. of both production tubulars, surface linepipe and associated facilities.
