This paper discusses the use of CP (cathodic protection) to mitigate internal corrosion related failures that occur in the produced brine phase of oilfield tanks and production vessels. Some of the unique considerations covered include: brine properties, CP system selection, installation details, monitoring, and coatings. Data from twelve case histories are briefly outlined.
