Mexico could recover from a lag of 20 years in technology to protect oil pipelines from corrosion, thanks to a model developed at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), which creates mobile laboratories to reach the places where the severe corrosion problems occur and apply a technique called "cathodic protection" to protect pipes.
