Authors

Abstract
Gamma-ray spectroscopy is a technique that has
been used extensively in recent years in the identification of corrosion in
pipeline steel. It involves the use of gamma rays to induce radiation from the
material in question and the obtained radiation patterns can be used to detect
corrosion. This review aims to discuss the current state and prospects of using
gamma-ray spectroscopy in corrosion detection and monitoring, focusing on the
strengths, weaknesses, and advancements in this area. To understand the essence
of the article, this review starts by defining gamma-ray spectroscopy and then
presenting a detailed description of the use of gamma-ray spectroscopy in
corrosion detection. Several researches confirm the capacity of gamma-ray spectroscopy
in determining corrosion in the steel pipeline, the high sensitivity, accuracy,
and the short time required for the method. It can be applied to detect
corrosion in pipelines having diameters from 1 inch to 36 inches. The review
then closes by emphasizing other uses, especially in the oil and gas sector,
whereby detection of gamma-ray spectroscopy of corrosion in its early stage can
avert costly repair and reduce the dangers of polluting the environment.
Further development in this field can be done by enhancing radiation sources,
exploring new data analysis methods, and integrating gamma-ray spectroscopy
with other NDE techniques. This paper aims to review the works done on the use
of gamma-ray spectroscopy for corrosion detection and the potential use of
gamma-ray spectroscopy in the oil and gas industry.
