The formation/deposition of hydrate and scale in gas production and transportation pipeline has continue to be a major challenge in the oil and gas industry. Pipeline transport is one of the most efficient, reliable and safer means of transporting petroleum products from the well sites to either the refineries or to the final destinations. Acetic acid (HAc), is formed in the formation water which also present in oil and gas production and transportation processes. Acetic acid aids corrosion in pipelines and in turn aids the formation and deposition of scales which may eventually choke off flow. Most times, Monethylene Glycol (MEG) is added into the pipeline as an antifreeze and anticorrosion agent. Some laboratory experiments have shown that the MEG needs to be separated from unwanted substance such as HAc that are present in the formation water to avoid critical conditions in the pipeline. Internal pipeline corrosion slows and decreases the production of oil and gas when associated with free water and reacts with CO2 and organic acid by lowering the integrity of the pipe. In this study, the effect of Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) and Acetic acid (HAc) on the corrosion rate of X-80 grade carbon steel in CO2 saturated brine were evaluated at 25oC and 80oC using 3.5% NaCl solution in a semi-circulation flow loop set up. Weight loss and electrochemical measurements using the linear polarization resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscope (EIS) were used in measuring the corrosion rate as a function of HAc and MEG concentrations. The results obtained so far shows an average corrosion rate increases from 0.5 to 1.8 mm/yr at 25oC, and from 1.2 to 3.5 mm/yr at 80oC in the presence of HAc. However, there are decrease in corrosion rate from 1.8 to 0.95 mm/yr and from 3.5 to 1.6mm/yr respectively at 25oC and 80oC on addition of 20% and 80% MEG concentrations to the solution. It is also noted that the charge transfer with the electrochemical measurements (EIS) results is the main corrosion controlling mechanism under the test conditions. The higher temperature led to faster film dissolution and higher corrosion rate in the presence of HAc. The EIS results also indicate that the charge transfer controlled behaviour was as a result of iron carbonate layer accelerated by the addition of different concentrations of MEG to the system.

CO2 corrosion has been the most prevalent form of corrosion and is considered as a complex problem in oil and gas production industries. The CO2 in presence of water causes sweet corrosion that is responsible for failure of pipeline during transportation of Oil and Gas. This work studies the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel specimens in CO2 environment at different temperatures but at constant pressure. The effect of CO2 on Carbon Steel specimens (X65, A106) were studied in simulated solution of 3 wt.% NaCl. The specimens were immersed into the CO2 containing solution for 48 hours and corrosion behaviour was investigated by using electrochemical test like Linear Polarization Resistance and Tafel plot. The results indicate that the temperature has an important effect of corrosion rate of carbon Steel in CO2 environment. Corrosion rate of 1.5-2 mm/yr was reported for both steels at lower temperature while at higher temperature the difference can be observed due to difference in protective nature of steels. Similar Corrosion rate around 1.5 -2 mm/yr was observed at 25°C for both A106 and X65 while at 50°C and 75°C the corrosion rate varies significantly 1.5-3 mm/yr and 3.5-6 mm/yr.

Carbon steel is arguably one of the most efficient, reliable and safer kind of steel used in petroleum and gas industry for production, distribution and transmission of products. Acetic acid (HAc), is also one of the impurities in oil and gas during transportation from the well sites to the refineries. It is formed in the formation water, which also present in oil and gas production and transportation processes. Acetic acid aids corrosion in pipelines and as a result causes environmental degradation. It has been observed that high concentration of HAc increases the rate of corrosion of carbon steel in CO2 environment. Corrosion slows down production of oil and gas and thereby reduces revenue. In this work, a comparative study and analysis of carbon steel corrosion in the presence of HAc was carried out at 25oC and 80oC in CO2 saturated environment. Weight loss and surface analysis methods (XRD, EDX and SEM) were used to characterize the corrosion layers of the carbon steel samples at different conditions. The weight loss results show that the corrosion rate increased initially with the increase in the concentration of HAc and attained a maximum, and then gradually decreased. At 25oC with 500ppm of HAc, the corrosion rate is 1.35 mm/yr, and 1.80 mm/yr when 1000ppm of HAc was added to the solution. At 80oC and 500ppm HAc, the corrosion rate was 1.80 mm/yr and 2.70 mm/yr with 1000ppm of HAc. A further increase was observed at 3.45 mm/yr when 2500ppm of HAc was added to the system. This increase in corrosion rate is attributed to increase in temperature as increased temperature increases the rate of all reactions. The XRD analysis confirmed that the iron is formed in the absence of HAc while siderite (FeCO3), which is an ore of iron is observed on the materials with HAc. The SEM and EDX results confirmed that a fairly dense material of FeCO3 was formed in the absence of HAc and the layers became porous on addition of HAc to the solution.

Loss Rates

CO2 corrosion in carbon steel piping systems can be severe depending on a number of factors including CO2 content, water chemistry, temperature, and percent water cut. For many oil and gas production conditions, corrosion products can form a protective scale on interior surfaces of the piping. In these situations, metal loss rates can reduce to below design allowances. But, if sand is entrained in the flow, sand particles impinging on pipe surfaces can remove the scale or prevent it from forming at localized areas of particle impingement. This process is referred to as “erosion-corrosion” and can lead to high metal loss rates. In some cases, penetration rates can be extremely high due to pitting. This paper combines laboratory test data on erosion-corrosion with an erosion prediction computational model to compute flow velocity limits (“threshold velocities”) for avoiding erosion-corrosion in carbon steel piping. Also discussed is how threshold velocities can be shifted upward by using a corrosion inhibitor.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the corrosive element which exists in oil and gas industries. To prevent CO2 corrosion on carbon steel pipelines, amine-base solvent and caustic solutions are commonly applied. Accordingly, effectiveness of amine base solvent and caustic solutions to reduce risk of corrosion becomes key parameters in determining service lifetime of pipelines made of carbon steel. In this research, the corrosion rate of carbon steel A106 Gr B in amine solutions combined with saturated CO2 gas and caustic solution was studied. The experiments were carried out in static conditions and the Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) technique was used to measure the corrosion rate (as per ASTM G 5-94). It was found that the corrosion rate in the amine-based solution had shown remarkable results. Somehow, the corrosion rate in an amine-based solvent containing saturated CO2 gas has increased to 200%. The temperature increment to 50°C from room temperature has also increased the corrosion rate. Meanwhile, the caustic addition in amine solution has reduced the corrosion rate of carbon steel.

Erosion Corrosion

Most oil and gas production wells have plenty of corrosive species present along with solid particles. In such production environments, CO2 gas can dissolve in free phase water and form carbonic acid (H2CO3). This carbonic acid, along with fluid flow and with/without solid particles (sand or other entrained particles), can result in unpredictable severe localized CO2 corrosion and/or erosion–corrosion (EC). So, in this work, the CO2 EC performance of API 5L X-65 carbon steel, a commonly used material in many oil and gas piping infrastructure, was investigated. A recirculating flow loop was used to perform these studies at three different CO2 concentrations (pH values of 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5), two impingement velocities (8 and 16 m/s), three impingement angles (15°, 45°, and 90°), and with/without 2000 ppm sand particles for a duration of 3 h in 0.2 M NaCl solution at room temperature. Corrosion products were characterized using FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD. The CO2 EC rates were found to decrease with an increase in the pH value due to the increased availability of H+ ions. The highest CO2 erosion–corrosion rates were observed at a 45° impingement angle in the presence of solid particles under all conditions. It was also observed that a change in pH value influenced the morphology and corrosion resistance of the corrosion scales.
