This book is intended for engineers and related professionals in the oil and gas production industries. It is intended for use by personnel with limited backgrounds in chemistry, metallurgy, and corrosion and will give them a general understanding of how and why corrosion occurs and the practical approaches to how the effects of corrosion can be mitigated. It is also an asset to the entry-level corrosion control professional who may have a theoretical background in metallurgy, chemistry, or a related field, but who needs to understand the practical limitations of large-scale industrial operations associated with oil and gas production. While the may use by technicians and others with limited formal technical training, it will be written on a level intended for use by engineers having had some exposure to college-level chemistry and some familiarity with materials and engineering design.

"University teachers, scientists and researchers and inparticular their undergraduate and postgraduate students, preparingtheir graduate theses will benefit from reading, employing andowing this well-organized volume." (Materials andCorrosion, 1 November 2012)"Overall I liked this book. Most professional books are not cheapand neither is this one. However, whereas I have found many suchbooks do not altogther justify their price tags, this one does."(TCE- The Chemical Engineer, 1 November 2011)
