Abstract

Corrosion is one of the primary challenges facing energy infrastructure, particularly in pipeline networks responsible for transporting essential resources like oil, gas, and water. The degradation caused by corrosion results in reduced structural integrity, increased maintenance costs, environmental risks, and potential operational failures. This review examines the state-of-the-art corrosion management strategies, materials compatibility approaches, and technological advancements that contribute to enhanced pipeline integrity. Emphasis is placed on the latest materials, coating technologies, cathodic protection (CP) methods, and predictive maintenance systems. The findings highlight a multi-faceted approach combining innovative materials with advanced monitoring systems as a necessity for optimizing pipeline longevity and operational efficiency.
Keywords: Corrosion Management, Materials Compatibility, Pipeline Integrity, Cathodic Protection, Predictive Maintenance, Energy Infrastructure.
