The integrity of steel infrastructure is directly linked to the safety, security and environmental impact and reliability of energy supplies. Effective corrosion management minimizes the risk of failure and damage. It can also extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure, reduce the need for steel replacement, and limit associated environmental impact.

To develop a global picture of the oil and gas industry’s maintenance strategies, Jotun carried out research which explores the attitudes of senior decision-makers and those who are responsible for maintenance at both on and offshore oil and gas assets. Working with Censuswide, the survey collected the views of 1,017 senior professionals in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors across 10 countries, exploring the industry’s attitudes to maintenance management and the near-term outlook for the sector.
