Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in cathodic corrosion protection; it has added to it. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability — it punishes it. Moving this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Practitioner evidence points the same way: cathodic corrosion protection improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The content is relevant to those who own the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants leave with a method for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations, not a set of opinions about it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about cathodic corrosion protection in their own setting. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations in an order their organisation can absorb. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations will be evidenced six months later.

Cathodic corrosion protection: environmental obligation and emissions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The environmental exposure created by cathodic corrosion protection
- Confirm that lessons from cathodic corrosion protection are shared beyond the team that learned them.
- Establish the boundary of cathodic corrosion protection and record what sits outside it.
- Review the instrumentation on cathodic corrosion protection for coverage gaps.
- Confirm that reporting on cathodic corrosion protection reaches the people who can act.
Session 2Building the investment case for cathodic corrosion protection that finance will accept
- Rank the weaknesses in cathodic corrosion protection by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Build the internal briefing that explains cathodic corrosion protection to those affected.

Cathodic corrosion protection: incidents, lessons and continual improvement
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Closing out cathodic corrosion protection and capturing what was learned
- Compare the cost of cathodic corrosion protection with the cost of its absence.
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios cathodic corrosion protection can create.
- Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on cathodic corrosion protection.

Session 2Deciding between life extension and replacement for cathodic corrosion protection
- Agree the indicators that will show whether cathodic corrosion protection is improving.
- Reduce the variation in how cathodic corrosion protection is carried out between teams.
- Check that the permit regime covering cathodic corrosion protection matches the actual hazard.
- Define the safe operating envelope for cathodic corrosion protection and how deviations are detected.
Cathodic corrosion protection: technical fundamentals and operating envelope
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What the last incident involving cathodic corrosion protection should have taught us

- Confirm handover documentation for cathodic corrosion protection is complete and current.
- Establish the alarm philosophy applying to cathodic corrosion protection and remove nuisance alarms.
- Identify where judgement in cathodic corrosion protection is legitimate and where it is not.
