This workshop explores field experiences related to corrosion issues on deepwater production platforms. With a design life of
typically 20 to 30 plus years, a deepwater production solution must be ‘fit for purpose’ and adaptable enough to accommodate
an evolving production stream over the life cycle. This solution may be described as ‘management of change’ (MOC), which if not
properly addressed can lead to further problems and costly failures.
Materials of containment, coatings, and inhibitors are critical areas pertinent to deepwater mechanical integrity. Coatings can
be external for the seawater side or internal for the production fluids side. Inhibitor selection can be a challenge, and chemicals
are usually tailored to the composition of the well flow. As the hydrocarbon flow evolves over the productive life of the field, the
originally selected materials and coatings design may prove less effective. Likewise, the inhibitor needs may change, such as the
use of an alternative inhibitor formulation, or an increase in dose or concentration. These changes could impact environmental
constraints and actual volumes required, and therefore impact costs and revenues.
With the high cost of production shut-in, and deepwater remediation, it pays to address these issues at the design phase or as
a capital expenditure (CapEx), rather than the operating expense (OpEx) phase. During the OpEx phase, changes are far more
expensive, and invariably produce further performance risk or safety issues to the asset, environment, and people involved.

responsibly.
Commercialism
In remaining consistent with workshop objectives and SPE guidelines, commercialism in presentations will not be permitted.
Company logos should be used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter(s).
Continuing Education Units
Attendees will receive 1.6 CEUs. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation. CEUs will be awarded through SPE
Professional Development for participation and completion of SPE workshop. A permanent record of a participant’s involvement
and awarding of CEUs will be maintained by SPE.
Documentation
Following the workshop, a url containing released copies of the workshop presentations will be available to attendees.
Electronic Devices
As a courtesy to the speakers and your fellow registrants, please turn off all electronic devices during presentations.
Name Badges
Please wear your badge at all times. It is a courtesy to your fellow registrants, speakers and sponsors.
Photography Policy
SPE reserves the exclusive rights to all recording or reproductions of the workshop. Unauthorized recording is expressly
prohibited, whether by video, still or digital camera, mobile phone, or any other means or form of reproduction. Any person
attending may be photographed or videotaped, and by your attendance, you give permission to use your image in possible future
marketing publications including print, online, and video.
Workshop Format
Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by
extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology
and best practices.
Many of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order
to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and members of the press are not invited to attend.
