Construction, operation, and maintenance of offshore pipelines and other facilities are expensive. The consequences of an offshore corrosion failure can be devastating. For these reasons, cathodic protection (CP) has become a universally applied technique for mitigating corrosion. Marine pipelines are typically provided with CP by bracelet anodes of zinc or aluminum. Impressed current systems at platforms or onshore are also used as well as hybrid systems that use a combination of the two. In this paper survey techniques are described and evaluated.
