High Temperature Corrosion Studies in Simulated SAGD Produced Fluids

Semiconductor electrochemical study of the passivity limits of austenitic stainless-steel in H2S-containing brines

“…For the production of oil and gas in these demanding reservoirs, usually carbon steel oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are used for well completions and for the associated surface facilities, however these materials experience very high corrosion rates as well other forms of damage such as pitting due to the presence of the acid gases [2 6]. A valid materials selection alternative considered in order to reduce the operating expenses incurred in the production of sour gas is the use of corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs); however, these are also prone to show susceptibility to localised forms of attack under similar operating conditions [7 11].…”
