Book Description
The electrochemical corrosion behaviors of high strength low alloy carbon steel, Grade S-135, and ultra-high strength low alloy carbon steel, Grade UD-165, were investigated in alkaline brines at pH of 7.9, 10.7, and 12.4 and four H2S partial pressures (PH2S) from 0 to 69 kPa at 85 oC using in situ electrochemical measurements, ex situ surface analyses, and software modeling. HS-(aq) was calculated to be the dominant sulfide species from pH 7.9 to 12.4. After 60 hours, polarization resistance (Rpol) of S-135 and UD-165 generally increased as pH increased at lower PH2S (0 and 0.83 kPa), whereas Rpol decreased and then increased as pH increased at higher PH2S (8.3 and 69 kPa). At each pH, the lower PH2S increased Rpol or did not significantly change Rpol, whereas the higher PH2S decreased Rpol. Two opposite effects from H2S were proposed, an accelerating effect due to H2S(aq) and HS-(aq) facilitating the Faradaic reactions and the localized corrosion, and an inhibiting effect due to the protectiveness of the corrosion products. The inhibiting effect was often observed at relatively low H2S concentrations at pH 7.9 and 12.4. The electrochemical impedance did not change significantly at different stir rates for both S-135 and UD-165, indicating that mass transport in the bulk solution was not the rate determining step. The corrosion products generally changed from iron carbonate and sulfides to iron oxide as pH increased, which agreed with the Pourbaix diagrams. Solution pH in the three solutions were calculated to be 8.1, 9.8, and 10.8 at 200 oC, respectively. Polarization resistance values of UD-165 at 200 °C were consistently one to two orders of magnitude lower than at 85 °C, which corresponded to a drastic increase in corrosion rate at elevated temperature. At 200 °C, Rpol at 9.8 was the smallest after 60 hours among the three solutions. The modeled results were in reasonable agreement with the experimental CR values within a factor of 4. A new method derived from the generalized Butler-Volmer equation allowed to obtain anodic Tafel slopes from LSV even with the effect of limiting current. At 200 oC, the ba values indicated that the anodic reactions followed the Bockris mechanism at pH 8.1 and a two-electron mechanism at pH 9.8 and 10.8. As pH increased, the major corrosion products changed from pyrrhotite/siderite to magnetite although the corrosion products were a mixture of iron carbonate, sulfide and oxide. At 4 °C and 10 MPa total pressure, experimental results for two drill steels, Grade S-135 and Grade UD-165, showed a distinct drop in corrosion rate when transitioning from sweet (CO2) corrosion to sour (H2S) corrosion in 5% wt. NaCl brine. It was found that a CO2:H2S ratio as high as 1000 was still enough for sour corrosion to dominate the conditions tested. The CO2+H2S condition and H2S condition had the similar anodic and cathodic Tafel slopes, which were smaller than the CO2 condition. The presence of H2S could have caused the formation of FeS(s) at the steel surface where the pH and Fe2+(aq) concentration might be higher than in the bulk solution.

Book Description
Aqueous brines are often produced during hydrocarbon recovery from geological reservoirs as an unwanted by-product. Degree of salinity is always an issue in produced water. In the USA, salt concentration in waters produced from conventional oil and gas wells falls in the range of 1 g/l (~ 0.1 wt.%) to 400 g/l (~ 28 wt.%). Besides salts, CO2 and H2S are ubiquitous in the production stream. Dissolution of these gases in produced waters results in evolution of corrosive species, such as CO2(aq), H2S(aq), H2CO3(aq), H+(aq), HCO-3(aq), and HS-(aq) that cause severe corrosion problems for carbon steel; primary material used in the construction of oil and gas pipelines. Combination of aqueous salts with dissolved CO2(aq) and H2S(aq) and their related species, has always been a great concern for pipeline operators in terms of corrosion problems. A large body of research exists on CO2 and H2S corrosion of oil and gas facilities, mostly at low salt concentrations; up to 3 wt.%. However, only a limited number of studies has investigated CO2 corrosion at high salt concentrations and to the best of this author’s knowledge, this number is zero for H2S corrosion. In the present study, the effect of salt (NaCl) concentration on aqueous uniform strong acid, CO2, and H2S corrosion of carbon steel is investigated. The key parameters in the corrosion process that are influenced by salt concentration are identified: transport phenomena (solution density, solution viscosity and diffusion coefficients of dissolved species), solution chemistry, and electrochemistry of the underlying reactions. Models have been reproduced and developed to account for the effect of salinity (up to ~ 5 m NaCl) on transport phenomena and solution chemistry. The Smolyakov and the square root (Kohlrausch law) equations were chosen for correcting the diffusion coefficients for the effect of temperature, and salt concentration, respectively, using new coefficients obtained in this study. The mixed solvent electrolyte (MSE) model, which is the only comprehensive solution chemistry model available in the literature for the H2O-NaCl-CO2-H2S systems is reproduced. The MSE model is used to calculate the equilibrium activity and activity coefficients of dissolved species important in aqueous strong acids, CO2, and H2S corrosion of carbon steel. pH measurements at 1 bar total pressure and temperatures below 80oC showed that the autogenous pH of aqueous CO2- and H2S-saturated solutions decreased with increasing NaCl concentration. The reason for the decrease in the solution pH was attributed to the increase in the activity coefficient of the H+ ion. The effect of salt concentration on electrochemistry and rate of strong acid, CO2, and H2S corrosion was studied by performing eight sets of experiments in aqueous N2-, CO2-, and H2S-satuared solutions at temperatures below 80oC, 1 bar total pressure, solution pH values between 3 to 5, and different NaCl concentrations, ranging from 0.1 wt.% (0.017 m) to 20 wt.% (4.27 m). The weight loss and linear polarization resistance corrosion rate measurements showed that the corrosion rate for all three types of corrosion generally decreased with increasing NaCl concentration. The analysis of potentiodynamic polarization sweeps indicated that increasing NaCl concentration decreased the rate of the cathodic H+ ion reduction reaction continually, while the rate of the cathodic water reduction reaction was mostly increased. The rate of anodic dissolution of iron in the active region increased at lower NaCl concentrations and then switched trend and decreased at higher NaCl concentrations. In strong acid corrosion, salt concentration seemed to have no effect on the mechanism of active dissolution of iron.

Book Description
The effect of corrosion in the oil industry leads to the failure of parts. This failure results in shutting down the plant to clean the facility. The annual cost of corrosion to the oil and gas industry in the United States alone is estimated at $27 billion (According to NACE International)—leading some to estimate the global annual cost to the oil and gas industry as exceeding $60 billion. In addition, corrosion commonly causes serious environmental problems, such as spills and releases. An essential resource for all those who are involved in the corrosion management of oil and gas infrastructure, Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industry provides engineers and designers with the tools and methods to design and implement comprehensive corrosion-management programs for oil and gas infrastructures. The book addresses all segments of the industry, including production, transmission, storage, refining and distribution. - Selects cost-effective methods to control corrosion - Quantitatively measures and estimates corrosion rates - Treats oil and gas infrastructures as systems in order to avoid the impacts that changes to one segment if a corrosion management program may have on others - Provides a gateway to more than 1,000 industry best practices and international standards
