2. Hot-Topic Issue Symbolized by
relative count of
pipeline failures –
internal corrosion
Proportion of
failures by ingress of
fugitive biomass
mobilized by
production surges at
well start-up events
Proportion of failures
by misalignment of
mitigation practices
with corrosion hazard
attributed to normally
produced fluids
