Corrosion is the most important problem in the process of oil production, Its results are: sudden fracture, high economic cost and great loss in oil equipment. Appropriate solutions have been suggested to extend the life of facilities, and to avoid corrosion phenomenon which may get the facility out of service, But, finding the main reasons causing this phenomenon, and studying the factors that contribute to increase or reduce the spread of corrosion requires more urgent attention. In this paper, the data of the pressure has been analyzed in three crude oil pipelines and focus was on the values during the days where changes were irregular. In the same period, the study of internal corrosion rate was being done, using weight loss method. It has been noticed that when the value of pressure is greater than 2 Mpa, the internal corrosion rate will be above the maximum. allowable limit which is 4 mil per year (MPY), while the internal corrosion rate will be within the acceptable range when the pressure is not greater than 1 Mpa.

Oil and gas buried pipeline are usually protected by a thick organic coating and supported by a cathodic protection system. The protection process allows the pipe line protection against corrosion; however, corrosion is taken place in the cracks and holes of insulation coating due to pipelines adjacency to electromagnetic fields. The process is called AC corrosion affected by some parameters such as AC induced amplitude, cathodic current protection and soil type. This corrosion was theoretically and practically studied by using carbon steel pieces. In addition, a solution stimulating the soil where the pipelines are buried was used. This phenomenon was studied through several experiments. Corrosion compounds were also analyzed. The results revealed a significant effect of AC induced amplitude and soil resistance. It has been also shown that 50 Hz frequency can be very quick in comparison with corrosion occurrence time at each positive or negative AC current phase.
In this research study the effect of the type of corrosion protection, on the rates of Carbon Steel samples from the same metal tube oil buried in soil and comparing between corrosion rates of samples steel non protected and corrosion rates protected samples in different protections ways, protection paint epoxy, protection paint epoxy and polyethylene and Cathodic protection by sacrifice anode (Zinc was chosen as anode sacrifice) and Cathodic protection impressed current. The samples protected and non-protected study's in the middle of corrosion of two sites of Homs soil (soil city of Homs –soil of Furqlus area) In each soil alone and the statement of the effectiveness of the Cathodic protection in increase the protection and then the comparison between the two Cathodic protection to reduce the corrosion rate was also study the effect of humidity and time on the corrosion samples steel is protected and samples steel Cathodic protected rates by anode sacrifice and was finally comparison between rates corrosion between the signatories studied soils (soil city of Homs - soil of Furqlus area) and whichever is more aggressive and study the factors that have made the soil more Furqlus hostile soil of the city of Homs, prompting us to both soils analysis and study results.
Decision makers uses several quantitative models for the selection of suitable investment alternatives, high yielding and high competitive ones, and what the most needed to the Syrian economy, especially in the reconstruction phase, is to test the se models and study their credibility in leading the investment process, and from this point this research is studying the internal rate of return model in the evaluation of investments, which draws the importance and the need for professionals and investment decision-makers reliance on this indicator in their studies and analysis, as well as a range of models of different quantity, in order to obtain top payoff of investment alternatives available to them and to achieve competitiveness for their projects and businesses.
This research discusses the exponential function of the explosion load and the pressure decay factor in this function (a). After that, four functions with four different values of the pressure decay factor are studied, and that is for the un-damped S DOF system, where the equation of motion is formed and solved. Then, using MATLAB software for every function, the relationship between (Yst/Y(t)) and t/T is plotted, and that enables plotting the response spectrum for each one. Moreover, a comparison between the spectra of the last three functions with the first one that describes the triangular explosion load is drawn. This research has concluded that for a certain range of (a), it is possible, and with acceptable approximation, to use the spectra of triangular load, but beyond that it is better to use the spectra of exponential load.
