Prediction
and Assessment of Corrosivity for Use of Steels in Multiphase CO2
/ H2S Environments One of the most fundamental and critical issues in current-day corrosion engineering and research is prediction of corrosion of steels and assessment of corrosivity of typical oil and gas production and transmission environments. InterCorr International, Inc., in Houston, Texas, a pioneer in corrosion modeling and development of computer-based corrosion tools, has organized a multiclient sponsored research program to generate data to support characterization and prediction of corrosion in various carbon and low alloy steels to account for critical parametric effects for which no data is currently available. The primary objectives of this research effort are:  Generation
of engineering data to support accurate prediction of corrosivity
and develop a basis to promote confident use of steels in corrosive
production and transmission environmentsDevelopment
of data to capture and understand critical issues in corrosion such as
H2S corrosion and scaling, CO2
/ H2S Equilibria, role of hydrocarbon
chemistry in promoting/inhibiting corrosion etc.Develop
new insights into modes of corrosive attack on steels exposed to
multi-phase CO2 / H2S environments as a function
of environmental and metallurgical parameters Creation
of a computerized corrosion prediction and assessment tool, based on
a further refinement of the PREDICTTM
system so as to provide an easy way to access critical corrosion data
and make environment corrosivity assessmentsGeneration
of field data to develop correlation between lab data and field
corrosion behaviorCreate
a consistent basis to predict as well as capture synergistic
interactions of the major metallurgical and environmental parameters on
the severity and mode of corrosion |
