Key words: casing string, impressed current, anode zones

Method to calculate the current density distribution over the depth of casing has been offered. The paper presents a case study of Well No. 22505 operated by Oil and Gas Production Department Bavlyneft of Tatneft OAO. Anode zones on the surface of the production casing have been localized.
