Description: Low alloy or mild steel pipelines operating under high pressures are widely used as economic solutions for oil and gas conveyance in the offshore industry. Protected externally with coatings or concrete, they are prone to corrosion of the internal surfaces. Such corrosion may affect pipeline safety and ability to contain the oil or gas being transported. Herein an overview is given of the principal factors affecting risk and a summary is given of the use of so-called Extreme Value Analysis to quantify the probability of failure of pipe-wall perforation, including prediction of future risk. Attention is given to provide understanding of the corrosion mechanisms involved to ensure risk analysis and prediction are based on sound principles.
