 TRAINER’S BACKGROUND
Mr. Marcel Roche has accumulated more than 40 years hands-on experience in the field of corrosion & cathodic
protection. From a Mathematics Teacher to a Corrosion Engineer (17 years), and advanced to the Head of
Inspection-Corrosion Department (15 years) and Coordinator for Static Equipment (5 years). Marcel’s last held
position was as the Corrosion Expert at the Technology Division of Exploration & Production branch of Total.

 Leader of standardisation working group for pipeline field joint coatings (ISO TC67 SC2 WG14-3).
 Member of NACE International; the National Association of Corrosion Engineers in the USA.
 Teacher in corrosion and cathodic protection topics, especially for TPA (Total Profs Associés), IFP Train-
ing (French Institute of Petroleum) and Institut de la Corrosion (subsidiary of KEMAB from Sweeden).
 Implications in the R & D aspects of corrosion in Oil & Gas industry, mainly for development of a
modelling software in cathodic protection (PROCOR) or data acquisition for seawater cathodic protection
parameters including deep waters, definition of PHD’s programmes in pipeline coatings (disbondment
problems of 3-layer systems), corrosion risks under disbonded coatings, and cathodic protection
(electrochemical parameters of steel in soils).
 Author or co-author of about 80 papers presented at national and international levels. Most recent papers
have been presented at NACE Conferences, Eurocorr’s, SPE Conferences and BHR Conferences and
were dealing with onshore and offshore CP and coatings as well as more general corrosion topics mainly
related to pipelines.
