Karnavsky, L.A. Kosareva The authors propose a method for restoring the security of the object in places of insulation coating damages in hard-to-reach areas, through the use of an extended anode grounding laid along an underwater junction in a conductive pipe. In places of convergence with areas of damage to the insulation coating, it is proposed to lay conductive pipes with greater electrical conductivity to ensure the flow of protective current on the protected object. The proposed solution makes it possible to effectively manage the anticorrosive protection system with the provision of a rational distribution of the protective potential on the section of the underwater passage, which will provide the necessary level of protection against corrosion. Keywords: oil and gas pipeline, anticorrosive protection system, extended anode grounding, conductive pipe. DOI: 10.25791/esip.5.2022.1298 Pp. 31-37.
