Design of Cathodic Protection for Underground Crude-Oil Pipeline by Applied impressed current system

الملخص

Abstract

Cathodic protection of underground petroleum pipelines by impressed  current is very important in the oil field, especially when the soil resistance to current is high. the impressed Current is direct current supplied by a cathodic protection system utilizing an external power source .With this method, the structure is placed in an electric circuit with a direct-power supply and an anode groundbed. Current is forced to flow from the electrolyte to the structure The object of this study is to design of cathodic protection for underground crude-Oil Pipeline by  impressed current cathodic protection to be used in the protection of the underground petroleum pipelines  for  X oil  field of Waha Oil Company  ,
