[Almost every oil and gas facilities and underwater equipment infrastructures are prone to the overwhelming effects of corrosion and biofouling. Nonetheless, the achieved advancement in the science of corrosion and biofouling control, both problems continue to pose major concerns to several facilities worldwide. Nanotechnology is an immensely growing field due to its miscellaneous applications in our daily life. Nanotechnology have revolutionized the scientific world by the creation of new techniques products and methodologies. Nano-scaled materials possess extraordinary features than their micro-scaled counterparts. Henceforth, widespread efforts are being directed towards promotion of the effective usage of nanomaterials to control/mitigate corrosion and biofouling. This chapter highlights a spot on the history of the science of nanotechnology, the different types of produced nanomaterials and the different synthetic approaches. Moreover, this chapter emphasizes the role played by nanomaterials to protect oil and gas constructions from corrosion and biofouling. Studies revealing investigations upon the employment of different nanomaterials in paints, coatings and as corrosion inhibitors will be reviewed in details.]
