FPSO Research ForumForum Discussion
OTRC, College Station USA
April 2003
Korea Mar 03 DNV Houston backgroundSlide 2
Corrosion issues and challenges
• Corrosion protection– Corrosion margins
– Coating types
• Maintenance, repair & planning strategies– Repair or replace?
– Now or later?
– Owner/Operator vs. Class vs. Regulatory
– Balancing economic vs. safety vs. environment
• Different environmental & operating conditions
Optimal vs. minimal requirements
Corrosion protection
Korea Mar 03 DNV Houston backgroundSlide 4
Corrosion Protection
• Coating:– Critical but expensive:
• Application (fabrication schedule impact)
• Inspection (construction and in-service)
– Class focus during operation but not (normally) NB
– Note: Cannot coat steel with steel
• Anodes– Significant weight and cost. Can we optimize?
• Impressed current
Which provides the best economic return? CAPEX vs. OPEX
Maintenance, repair & planning strategies
Korea Mar 03 DNV Houston backgroundSlide 6
Corrosion impact
• Leaking:– Gaseous vapors explosion
– Pollution
• Fatigue:– Lives halved in corrosive environment
(corrosion is located at HS)
– General corrosion has less impact
• Yield strength:– typically small impact
Typically local impact only

DNV’s acceptance criteria options
Thickness measurements
Repair to As-built- Easy to determine- Quick (WSD)
Pass/failNo action
Repair to WWT- Requires simple calc- Medium time (WSD)
Repair to Site- Rigorous calc- Time consuming (LRFD)
Which is the cost effective solution?

Diminution
• Generate repair specifications • Establish volumes, weights, areas & staging• Store all collected information for analysis and later re-use
Compare against requirements

Questions for discussion
• Should we focus on:– Corrosion protection systems? (Preventative), or– Monitoring, recording & decision making systems? (Reactive)
• What information do we need:– Corrosion margins– Corrosion rates
• How do we address and rank the variables?– Cargo type, temperature, steel type, etc.
• How do we incorporate into the Life Cycle:– Design– Fabrication inspection– Inspection and Maintenance Planning– Repair decisions– Feedback / Industry updates (ownership)
