Ferric Advisory

Services

Corrosion and integrity services, scoped to the decision you need to make

Ten services in three groups. Most engagements combine two or three. Every engagement receives direct senior technical oversight, from initial scope and evidence review through to final recommendations.

Assess Establish the condition of the asset and the cause of a problem.

A1

Asset condition assessment and technical due diligence

An independent review of an asset’s corrosion condition, applied to restart, acquisition and partnership decisions.

Call us when: Restarting a shut-in field or pipeline, taking over an operatorship, entering a partnership, or planning a rehabilitation budget.

What we do

  • Review of design, inspection, CP survey, ILI and monitoring records
  • Site walk-down of pipelines, tanks, process units and export facilities
  • Identification of active damage mechanisms, including sour-service threats
  • Prioritised remediation and inspection plan with order-of-magnitude scope

You receive

Condition report with a ranked list of corrosion threats, data gaps and remediation priorities.

A2

Failure investigation and root-cause analysis

Leaks, ruptures and unexpected wall loss investigated to their cause, so the repair is not repeated.

Call us when: After a leak or loss of containment, or when inspection finds wall loss faster than predicted.

What we do

  • Root-cause investigation of corrosion-related incidents in pipelines and equipment
  • Field troubleshooting and evidence preservation
  • Scoping of laboratory and metallurgical testing, and review of the results
  • Corrective and preventive action planning

You receive

Investigation report: root cause, contributing factors and corrective actions your team can execute.

A3

Independent technical review and owner’s engineer

A second, operator-side opinion on designs, specifications, contractor proposals and inspection reports.

Call us when: Before approving a CP design, awarding an inspection or chemical contract, or accepting a contractor’s findings.

What we do

  • Third-party review of designs, specifications and reports
  • Scopes of work and technical bid evaluation
  • Vendor and contractor technical qualification
  • Supervision of contractors on your behalf

You receive

Review memorandum with required changes; scopes of work; bid evaluation matrix.

Protect Stop metal loss with the right protection, chemistry and materials.

P1

Cathodic protection: ICCP and SACP

Design review, survey and optimisation of impressed-current and sacrificial-anode systems.

Call us when: When pipe-to-soil potentials are out of criteria, rectifiers or anode beds are ageing, or new facilities need a CP design checked.

What we do

  • Design review and implementation of ICCP and SACP systems for production assets
  • CP survey scoping, supervision and interpretation for pipelines, tanks and facilities
  • Remediation and optimisation of under-performing systems
  • Tank-bottom underside protection, including vapour-phase corrosion inhibitor (VPCI)

You receive

Design or survey review, remediation priorities and a maintenance and survey programme.

Enquire about this

P2

Corrosion inhibition and chemical-treatment optimisation

Inhibitor programmes that are measured, not assumed, and chemical spend that can be justified.

Call us when: When chemical costs keep rising, monitoring does not show whether treatment works, or a new inhibitor is being proposed.

What we do

  • Inhibition strategy for production and export systems
  • Design and supervision of chemical field trials
  • Performance monitoring and dosing optimisation
  • Downhole corrosion treatment

You receive

Treatment strategy, field-trial protocol and evaluation, optimised dosing and monitoring plan.

P3

Materials selection for sour and critical service

Materials decisions for H₂S, CO₂ and other aggressive conditions, from front-end design onwards.

Call us when: At FEED and detailed design, when process conditions change, or when replacing equipment in sour service.

What we do

  • Materials selection and review against NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 and ISO 21457
  • Corrosion input to front-end engineering of gas processing facilities
  • Process piping considerations under ASME B31.3
  • Corrosion risk assessment for new and modified systems

You receive

Materials selection report or review, with corrosion allowance and monitoring input to design.

Enquire about this

Manage Keep integrity under control over the life of the asset.

M1

Corrosion management and monitoring

A corrosion strategy tied to integrity objectives, and monitoring that shows what is happening inside the asset.

Call us when: When there is no current corrosion management strategy, or monitoring data is collected but not acted on.

What we do

  • Corrosion management strategy aligned with asset-integrity objectives
  • Monitoring design: coupons, probes, ER and LPR
  • Migration from periodic retrieval to real-time online monitoring
  • Corrosion KPIs and reporting to operations and management

You receive

Corrosion management strategy, monitoring scope and location schedule, periodic data review.

Enquire about this

M2

Pipeline integrity management and in-line inspection

Integrity programmes, inspection planning and intelligent-pigging campaigns for pipelines and facilities.

Call us when: When an ILI run is due, ILI results need interpreting, or inspection effort is not going where the risk is.

What we do

  • Integrity management programmes for pipelines, export terminals, tanks and process units
  • Inspection planning and intelligent-pigging campaigns
  • ILI scope and review of MFL and UT results
  • Integration of CP, monitoring and inspection data into integrity decisions

You receive

Integrity management programme, inspection plan, ILI scope and results review.

Enquire about this

M3

RBI and asset-integrity management systems

Risk-based inspection and the management system that keeps it current.

Call us when: Setting up RBI for the first time, or when an existing RBI study no longer reflects the asset.

What we do

  • Establishment of AIMS and RBI modules
  • Damage-mechanism review and corrosion risk assessment as RBI input
  • Inspection interval recommendations
  • Coordination between inspection, maintenance, operations and HSE

You receive

RBI and AIMS framework input, damage-mechanism review, inspection interval recommendations.

Enquire about this

M4

Corrosion standards, training and mentoring

Company specifications that people use, and engineers who understand why they exist.

Call us when: When company specifications are outdated or missing, or a new integrity team needs to be built up.

What we do

  • Internal corrosion standards and specifications aligned with international codes
  • Training for engineers, inspectors and operators
  • Technical workshops on corrosion, integrity and risk
  • Mentoring of corrosion engineers and technicians

You receive

Standards and specifications, training material and delivery, mentoring arrangements.

Field surveys, inspection and laboratory work

Where field surveys, inspection or laboratory analysis are required, Ferric Advisory can define the technical scope, support specialist selection and coordinate the resulting technical inputs.

Standards referenced

  • NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156Materials for use in H₂S-containing environments
  • ISO 21457Materials selection and corrosion control for oil and gas production systems
  • ASME B31.3Process piping

Work is aligned with NACE/AMPP, API, ISO and ASME requirements as applicable to each assignment.
