Dear friends and colleagues!

That's the end of our two-day scientific and technical marathon. The conference was attended by representatives of large and small mining companies, manufacturers of pipe products, research centers and leading polytechnic universities of the country. I hope that all the participants of our event received a lot of useful theoretical and practical information.

The main purpose of our annual conference is to create a platform for communication between metallurgists, oil and gas workers, manufacturers of technological equipment, university scientists and specialists from Engineering centers. The main issue on the agenda is what is corrosion and how to deal with it. In our opinion, the goal has been achieved.

On the first day of the conference, issues of conducting laboratory and pilot field tests were discussed, simulating complicated test conditions (temperatures, pressures, composition of media (CO2, H2S, chlorides; mercaptans, organic acids, corrosion inhibitors), and the influence of the chemical composition of steels on corrosion resistance.

The main reasons for failures of oilfield equipment (manufacturing quality, use of materials that do not meet the operating conditions, lack of necessary regulatory documents), replication as a non-destructive method for determining the metallographic characteristics of the product material, and the role of metal science in reverse engineering were not ignored.

The first day of the conference ended with a walking tour of the historical center of Samara, which has preserved the merchant buildings of the end. XIX – early XX century.

The guests were able to feel the atmosphere of the old streets, walk along the main street of Samara at the end of the 19th century, which was called the "exhibition of public life" for a reason, visited ancient courtyards and modern art spaces, and finally were amazed by the magnificent panorama of the city, which opens from Pushkin Square near the drama theater. The walk ended on board the Beluga ship-restaurant, where a delicious dinner and a quiz from the organizers awaited the guests.

The second day of the conference was also held in a working atmosphere, with representatives of mining companies asking producers and researchers difficult questions, thereby directing both to find new solutions.

The issues of modeling the stress-strain state to assess the risks of premature failure of elements of oilfield equipment were discussed.

Most of the attention was paid to the issues of corrosion protection of oil and gas production and processing facilities. Bimetallic pipes, bimetallic sheet, stainless steel liner pipe, the use of bimetallic sheet in the petrochemical industry, high-strength corrosion-resistant materials, single- and double-layer protective coatings, both polymer and combined (zinc + polymer).

In our opinion, the event turned out to be dynamic, interesting and, hopefully, useful. The IT-Service team, the organizers of the conference, would like to thank all the speakers for their significant contribution to the content of the program. We thank the conference participants for their activity and tricky questions. We are always open to creating new communication formats. We are waiting for suggestions and comments. And of course, we are waiting for everyone in the first decade of September 2025 for the 9th scientific and technical conference.

See you soon!
