Retrofit Cathodic Protection Systems | Deepwater Corrosion Services
A long-term solution to a discrete common failure in process piping.
Corrosion control through retrofit cathodic protection (CP) systems from Deepwater can support the oil and gas industry with a strategy to extend the life of ageing offshore assets, especially where conventional protection systems are failing or inaccessible. Deepwater’s CP systems are designed for ease of installation, reduced subsea intervention and long-term performance.
Key Advantages:
Retrofittable Designs for Ageing Infrastructure
Purpose-built CP systems like RetroPod, RetroBuoy and RetroSled allow installation on operational platforms, FPSOs, subsea pipelines and other offshore structures without shutdown or major intervention.
Modelling through real data for retrofitting where design codes are absent
Unlike new builds, retrofit CP lacks standardised design codes. Deepwater’s decades of experience and real world data collection facilitates custom solutions modelled using real-world data and site conditions.
Clamp-On or Mat-Based Options for Challenging Areas
Solutions like RetroClamp and RetroMat allow for localized protection where welding, cutting or clamping is impractical.
Monitoring-Ready Systems
Integrates seamlessly with Deepwater’s subsea monitoring instruments (MA-1, DR-2, Recap Logger), allowing BP to track CP performance without relying solely on diver or ROV inspections.
Award-Winning Field Performance
Deepwater’s systems have protected FPSOs, deepwater platforms, subsea assets, docks and renewables worldwide including 21,000 Amps deployed for the SYU platforms and life-extension retrofits for Triton FPSO in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico assets.
