Tubing are intended for a wide range of works from pumping out of oil and gas from a well cavity before production of various repair work. With their help on oil fields carry out raising of oil from a productive zone of layer to well head and also force water for maintenance of reservoir pressure. The main problem at operation of these pipes are refusals because of corrosion defeat. The main types of corrosion destructions of tubing connected with presence at the obtained environment of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are given in the paper. One of the ways of protection of an internal surface of tubing is the use of corrosion inhibitors – chemical reagents which introduction in small dosages on corrosion Wednesday significantly reduces metal corrosion rate. Results of experiments on corrosion inhibitor selection for protection of the oil-field equipment of one of fields of the Russian Federation are given in the paper.
Heat-resistance (scale resistance) is the steel corrosion fastness in dry gas at high temperatures. At the temperatures over 570 °С, the ferrous alloys oxidize, as ferric oxide (wustite) with simple cubic lattice appears on the metal surface. Such oxide lacks oxygen atoms (omission solid solution) and does not interfere with the diffusion between metal and oxygen. As a result of this process the brittle oxide-scale develops and the loss of metal increases. In order to increase the heat-resistance of steel, different alloying elements are included into its composition, forming oxides with the tight structure of crystal lattice. In this paper we’ve investigated the heat-resistance of some structural steels and analyzed their corrosion resistance in the high temperature aggressive environments of chemical productions.
Corrosion inhibitors are widely used for protection of technological equipment and pipelines in the oil and gas industry. However, the operation of these objects under the influence of corrosive media of high aggressiveness and the widespread use of new constructive materials call for development of increasingly effective reagents. In this regard, the creation of competitive inhibitors that provide a high protective effect is a very urgent task, the solution of which is of significant importance for the country's economy. The paper considers the synthesis of new corrosion inhibitors based on quaternary ammonium compounds and the study of the effectiveness of their practical application in the implementation of anticorrosion protection of oilfield equipment made of carbon steel 20 and low-alloy steel. It has been established that as a result of the synthesis based on triethanolamine and orthophosphoric acid, triethylamine and 1,3-dichloropropene, and also condensation of polyethylene polyamine with 1,2-dichrolylethane, it is possible to obtain high-molecular compounds that effectively inhibit corrosion processes in oil and gas equipment proceeding along the electrochemical mechanism. To study the protective properties of the developed corrosion inhibitors, gravimetric analysis was used. It has been established that some nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing quaternary compounds under conditions similar to those in oil fields exhibit rather high inhibitory protection effects, and therefore can be recommended as a basis for the creation of new inhibitors of corrosion of tubular steels in mineralized reservoir environments. It is shown that the maximum inhibitory protection effects of the developed inhibitors are achieved at their moderate concentrations in the mineralized formation water, and with an increase in the concentration, the corrosion rate of the tested tubular steels is substantially reduced.Forcitation:Khaydarova G.R., Tyusenkov F.S., Bugai D.E., Raskildina G.Z., Islamutdinova A.A., Sidorov G.M.

The electrization of the water-oil mixture is a negative factor, the study of which has so far been neglected. Electrostatic charges generated in the pipelines during oil transportation, are accumulated in oil-water mixture. It essentially changes the corrosion activity of the aqueous phase and enables water-oil emulsion stabilization. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of electrostatic charges that are generated during oil transportation through pipelines on the stabilization of water-oil emulsions. It is established that the accumulation of electrostatic charges in the oil phase leads to the stabilization of the water-oil emulsion, i.e. to the increase of “water-oil” interphacial tension. It is shown that demulsifiers increase the redistribution of electrostatic charges between aqueous and oil phases. The proposed method preventing the stabilization of emulsion is based on reduction of electrostatic charges redistribution in “water-oil” system by introducing antistatic surfactants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
