Abstract

In oil and gas production, the main corrosive constituent is CO2 and corrosion rate increases initially with increase in its partial pressure and temperature and then decreases beyond a temperature due to film formation. The rate is also affected by characteristic of produced water, flow rate, oil/water ratio, oxygen, etc. Number of predictive models have been developed which have been classified as mechanistic or empirical. However, the prediction under different models quite often varies. Carbon steel with inhibitor addition is the preferred MOC, but corrosion-resistant alloys (CRA) like 13 Cr, DSS, SDSS and nickel alloys are used depending on severity. Coated or CRA-cladded carbon steels are also being used. In presence of H2S, the materials are susceptible to cracking for which resistant alloys are used. Handling of gas involves drying followed by separation of different constituents. All lines and offshore structures are protected against external corrosion by coating and CP. This chapter presents various aspects of problem experienced and action taken in oil and gas industry to increase the performance of materials. Emphasis has been on the offshore oil and gas installations, where the conditions are more severe and cost of operation and maintenance much higher than similar installation onshore.
