This article explores how the technology prevents corrosion and extends asset life across Nigeria's demanding oil and gas environment.","body":"<p>Corrosion is one of the most persistent threats to Nigeria\u2019s oil and gas infrastructure. In response, DTN Integrated Services Limited delivers thermoplastic encapsulation \u2014 a spray-applied system that seals assets against the environment and extends their service life.
