ROBERT HEIDERSBACH

AUTHOR, PROFESSOR,

& ENGINEER

Experienced engineer,

forensic consultant,

and former professor

Robert Heidersbach

published “Metallurgy

and Corrosion Control

in Oil and Gas

Production” in 2011.

The book provides a

general understanding

of how and why

corrosion occurs and

the practical

approaches to how the

effects of corrosion can

be mitigated.

While the target audience for

the book is recent graduates

from engineering programs, it

also provides valuable

information for people new to

the oil and gas, chemistry,

metallurgy, and corrosion

industries.

“Metallurgy and Corrosion

Control in Oil and Gas

Production” is based on

Robert Heidersbach’s

experience teaching new

engineers all around the

world the need to truly

understand how metallurgy

and corrosion control affects

the oil industry.

He has been fortunate enough

to teach corrosion classes and

training sessions in Brunei,

which is a small nation in the

South China Sea; Colombia;

Denmark; Egypt; Indonesia;

Japan; Malaysia; Turkey;

Taiwan; and Trinidad and

Tobago.

Since his work has taken him

all over the world, and Robert

truly enjoys the opportunity

to meet people from different

cultures and connect over a

common interest of

metallurgy and corrosion

control.

There is a saying that goes

something like this: “If you

want to learn a subject, teach

it.” Most of the subjects

covered in this book have

been suggested by

participants in classes I have

taught worldwide to

industrial audiences.

During my career as a

professor, I tried to bring

into the classroom the

lessons taught to me from

these industrial courses and

from my consulting

practice.
