In recent years the Middle East oil industry has seen tremendous growth in oil producing and handling facilities, matched by an increased number of Cathodic Protection installations. The monitoring of large numbers of new CP systems presents special challenges to CP operators and with Remote Monitoring System, these challenges can be overcome. This paper discussed the advantages of having RMS to remotely monitor the CP system and have readily available data for CP reports and system evaluation.
