“…According to previous studies, the indirect corrosion cost, incurred from compensation for the corrosion-induced loss of productivity and product quality and compensation for environmental pollution, casualties, and other damages, may be one to several times of the direct corrosion cost. 8,15 Here, we conservatively estimated that the indirect corrosion cost is equal to the direct cost. Thus, the total cost of corrosion, determined by Uhlig's approach, was at least 2127.8 billion RMB, representing 3.34% of the GDP in China.…”

“…This value is slightly lower than the global percentage cost of corrosion (3.4%), 12 which was estimated by NACE primarily based on the US cost of corrosion in the 1998 study. 8 However, it is difficult to directly and quantitatively compare the costs of corrosion from different countries. The reasons are at least twofold.…”

“…Table 1 provides a historical overview of the cost of corrosion studies undertaken by largeeconomy countries. 1,2,4,5,[7][8][9][10][11] As revealed (Table 1), the national costs of corrosion generally represent approximately 1-5% of the GNP. This large variation in the corrosion cost relative to GNP was attributed to the specifics of each country and to the methodology used by each study.…”

“…3 Funded by the Federal Highway Administration of the United States, CC Technologies Laboratories (now DNV GL) partnered with NACE International and conducted another nationwide cost of corrosion survey in the United States in 1998. 8 The study combined the Uhlig and Hoar methods with significant input of expert knowledge and determined the corrosion costs associated with five major categories (infrastructure, utilities, transportation, production and manufacturing, and, government), including 27 industrial sectors. The results showed that the total direct cost of corrosion was~276 billion US dollars per year (3.1% gross domestic product (GDP) at the time), which means that the cost per each person per year was approximately 970 US dollars.…”

Corrosion is a ubiquitous and costly problem for a variety of industries. Understanding and reducing the cost of corrosion remain primary interests for corrosion professionals and relevant asset owners. The present study summarises the findings that arose from the landmark “Study of Corrosion Status and Control Strategies in China”, a key consulting project of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2015, which sought to determine the national cost of corrosion and costs associated with representative industries in China. The study estimated that the cost of corrosion in China was approximately 2127.8 billion RMB (~ 310 billion USD), representing about 3.34% of the gross domestic product. The transportation and electronics industries were the two that generated the highest costs among all those surveyed. Based on the survey results, corrosion is a major and significant issue, with several key general strategies to reduce the cost of corrosion also outlined.

Although the high impermeability of graphene makes it an excellent barrier to inhibit metal oxidation and corrosion, graphene can form a galvanic cell with the underlying metal that promotes corrosion of the metal in the long term. Boron nitride (BN) nanosheets which have a similar impermeability could be a better choice as protective barrier, because they are more thermally and chemically stable than graphene and, more importantly, do not cause galvanic corrosion due to their electrical insulation. In this study, the performance of commercially

Corrosion Inhibitors in the Oil and Gas Industry

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lower-grade steel materials are the most commonly used construction materials for oil and gas wells due to their low cost and high performance. However, they are susceptible to corrosion when they come in contact with corrosive environments that are highly acidic. In oil wells, particularly deep oil wells, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is commonly found. The dissolution of H2S gas in produced water makes the fluid corrosive. The use of corrosion inhibitors is perhaps the most practical and costeffective means of controlling corrosion of low carbon steels in the sour environment. In this chapter, typical corrosion inhibitors used in oil and gas fields to control the internal corrosion of oilfield equipment caused by H2S are being examined. The inhibitors found to be effective are polar functional compounds, with many being based on nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, imidazolines, and quaternary ammonium salts. Drawbacks of these compounds in practical applications and potentials of future developments are discussed.
