In the oil and gas industry, operational safety and efficiency are critical to ensuring a constant flow of hydrocarbons through the supply chain. However, Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI), a hidden threat, represents one of the most critical challenges in terms of inspection, as it directly impacts the integrity of assets.

Structures such as oil platforms, underwater pipelines and docks are constantly exposed to corrosive environments. The salinity of seawater, marine life, among others, contribute to speeding up this process. Therefore, it is imperative to take preventive measures. In this article, some considerations in the cathodic protection of these structures are presented.

Currently, safety and risk prevention occupy a priority place in the industry. For this reason, risk assessment has become a fundamental practice to guarantee the integrity of assets and the protection of people. In this context, API RP 580 (Recommended Practice 580) has emerged as a tool in effective risk assessment in various industries.
