Abstract
As a primary energy source, natural gas continues to play a major role in meeting Thailand’s energy requirements and is<br>preferred for generating the country’s electricity. As energy demand increases, a fully integrated pipeline integrity program<br>for wet gas pipelines becomes necessary to ensure safe production from Thailand’s gas fields. This paper presents an<br>overview of the corrosion mitigation and monitoring strategies implemented on a 63.5 km (40 mile) long, 385 mm (15.2 in)<br>maximum internal diameter, carbon steel wet gas pipeline. The pipeline is in Khon Kaen Province, located northeast of<br>central Thailand.
