Introduction

The corrosion in the petroleum industries is the main obstacle and dangerous that is inherent in these industries, starting from the extraction of crude oil and ending stages of the use of derivatives through the purification and refining operations, manufacturing and processing, storage and transportation. Attributed the phenomenon of corrosion to the presence of elements that causes it, such as a gas (H₂S and CO₂) associated with the extraction and the existence of other factors regarding the nature of the oil extracted and the nature and components of metals and alloys used in the manufacture of equipment and devices used in the petroleum industry that led to the additional erosion and various forms of corrosion: General, localized corrosion cracks and stress corrosion and others.

Objectives:

1. Identify the risk of corrosion in petroleum industries.
2. Pushing the national staff of the Iraqi oil industry to studying this phenomenon and provide research and special studies, which simulates the Iraqi reality.
3. Cooperation between universities and other state institutions, especially the Ministry of Sciences and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Oil to work together in developing appropriate solutions to the phenomenon of corrosion in the petroleum sectors
4. Open new horizons for university professors to enter the realm of life to take advantage of engineering sciences and professor of the accumulated experience of the engineer in the field of work.
5 - Joint Cooperation to study the current reality of corrosion in the petroleum industry and raise it and to minimize the effects of harmful corrosion in the industry.
6 - Identifying the activities of the Ministry of oil from the study of corrosion in the oil industries and the development of programs and plans jointly to solve them.

Important Times:

1. Provide summaries of the working papers until 01.May.2011

2. Providing working papers until 15.May.2011

3. Notice of the participants to accept the working papers in 20/May/2011.

4. Delivery of presentations (PowerPoint) to the department no later than 22/May/2011

4. The presence of participants in the working papers to the department on 23/May/2011

5. Date of the symposium on Tuesday, 24/May/2011 at 9 am in the conference room in the department.
