An Introduction to the Strategic Planning required by the Top Management for the treatment of Corrosion in Oil and Gas Industries:Corrosion Knowledge Management

Corrosion management (CM) is a relatively well known terminology to address technicalities involved in prevention and mitigation of corrosion.However, managing corrosion must be done through an organizational culture within a plant that would support CM activities. This organizational culture or as we call it, corrosion knowledge management (CKM), mainly relies on managerial techniques for a better communication between both corrosion engineers and other engineers and corrosion engineers and the managers who may have a little background in corrosion.This technique first focuses on the available sources and then proposes a feasible way of dealing with corrosion through these available sources by using CKM principles.This paper will briefly review some important features of corrosion that will require the attention of top management in addition to attending to them technically by corrosion and integrity engineers.
