AMPP Chennai Chapter – Ninth Webinar

Date & Time: 27th September 2025 (Saturday) at 17:00 hrs
Topic: Smart NDT Technologies: Leading the Future of Corrosion Control in the Oil Industry
Speaker: Mr. Mohammed Abufour, Global NDT Consultant, Saudi Arabia

Overview of the Talk

The oil and gas industry, a cornerstone of global energy supply, faces continuous challenges from corrosion and aging infrastructure. Assets such as pipelines, storage tanks, offshore platforms, and refineries are regularly exposed to harsh operating environments — extreme temperatures, high humidity, and corrosive substances — accelerating deterioration, increasing safety risks, and driving costly maintenance.

Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technologies are reshaping corrosion management by enabling early detection, accurate assessment, and real-time monitoring of critical components. Alongside established methods like ultrasonic testing, phased array ultrasonics, electromagnetic inspection, and guided wave testing, newer smart solutions are expanding possibilities:

  • UT corrosion mapping for high-resolution thickness profiling

  • Drones for remote thickness measurements in elevated or inaccessible areas

  • 3D laser scanning for external corrosion evaluation

  • Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) for reliable detection of sharp pitting and weld-related corrosion

  • Acoustic emission testing for tank floor monitoring

These innovations support predictive maintenance, enhance safety, extend asset life, and optimize cost efficiency, while ensuring compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements.

This session will highlight cutting-edge innovations, practical case studies, and best practices that are shaping the future of corrosion control and asset integrity management in the oil and gas sector.
