Mahmoud Saeed

Profile

Mahmoud has a background in mechanical engineering where he completed undergraduate at the University of Benghazi ( Garyounis University- Libya). Then he studied master of science MSc in “Oilfield Corrosion” at the University of Leeds.  Mahmoud worked for the NALCO champion- Libyan branch as an application engineer. Then he has got an opportunity to work for Bright Star university- Libya. During his employment with Bright Star university, he worked as a General Registrar ( Head of the admission office for undergraduate students). 

Research interests

The research project title is ( Investigating corrosion under insulation (CUI) mechanisms by using microelectrodes)

The CUI is considered a serious threat to the oil and gas sector. The failure in the pipeline in the O&G  due to CUI is estimated at 40-60%. 

The aims of this research are:

• To investigate the mechanism of CUI by using three cell microelectrodes.
• To investigate the effect of different environmental condition on CUI rate ( temperature – cyclic temperature – insulation saturation)   
• To study the corrosion products that formed at different conditions

Qualifications

• MSc- Oilfield Corrosion, 2014 University of Leeds- UK
• BSc. Mechanical Engineering, 2009 University of Benghazi- Libya

Research groups and institutes

• Institute of Functional Surfaces
