Intelligent corrosion management underpinned by advanced engineering science
Our planet’s population will continue to grow rapidly; between 2010 and 2025 the population will grow by 1.1bn. Urbanisation and growth of the consumer class in developing countries will lead to unprecedented demands on energy. There is arguably no bigger challenge to society than ensuring the security of affordable and environmentally-sustainable energy. Hydrocarbons will provide a large proportion of the world’s energy for the foreseeable future. There is no escape from the critically low oil price worldwide. Innovation becomes important in this price environment. “Easy” oil has already been found; future supply will come from complex reservoirs requiring enhanced oil recovery (EOR).…
