Course Overview
The Material Selection in Oil and Gas Upstream course by Koenig Original is designed for engineers, corrosion specialists, and asset integrity managers working in upstream oil and gas operations. This comprehensive program covers the critical factors involved in selecting materials for wells, pipelines, and production equipment, focusing on corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, temperature and pressure tolerances, and compliance with API and ISO standards. With material failure contributing to over 30% of unplanned downtime in E&P operations, proper selection directly impacts safety, environmental protection, and operational efficiency. The course serves professionals in roles such as materials engineer, integrity analyst, and completion designer, equipping them with industry-aligned methodologies to reduce lifecycle costs and enhance reliability in harsh operating environments.
Participants engage with key industry tools including PREDICT® for carbon steel corrosion modeling in CO2/H2S environments and SOCRATES® for corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) selection in sour service applications. The hands-on lab component, delivered through Koenig’s virtual lab environment, enables learners to simulate real-world scenarios such as casing string material selection under downhole conditions and evaluating elastomer compatibility in completion equipment. Students configure material class specifications for wellheads and X-mas trees based on NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards and perform case studies using actual field data to determine optimal metallurgy for production tubing exposed to multiphase flow. These practical exercises ensure mastery of both metallic and non-metallic material selection strategies across diverse upstream challenges.
While no formal certification exam is tied to this Koenig Original course, it prepares professionals for advanced competency in asset integrity management, a skill set linked to 20–30% higher salary premiums in senior engineering roles within major operators like Shell and BP. Graduates gain access to Koenig’s Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and optional 1-on-1 training format, ensuring personalized instruction with certified subject matter experts. Leveraging official courseware and real-world simulation tools, the program enhances career progression into roles such as Lead Materials Engineer or Integrity Management Specialist, positioning participants to lead critical decisions that improve safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term project viability in the global upstream sector.
