Husain’s invention is able to identify corrosive zones during the drilling of a production well. It is then able to optimise corrosion protection requirements without the need of additional logs. It is hoped Husain’s invention will result in the development of a device which can facilitate the optimisation of well corrosion protection.

According to Husain, “[I] got the idea for [my] invention after concentrating on the analysis of drill stem data. I thought as the analysis of the anode bed drill stem data helps identify low/high corrosivity spots along an anode hole, this same concept and method can be applied to the producing well itself.”
