Carbon Dioxide Corrosion In Oil And Gas Industry

Abstract

This paper is a collective summary about sweet (CO2) corrosion on steel carbon pipes which manifests as a result of electrochemical processes resulting in the deterioration of a material surface. Corrosion is a major problem in the industry especially in pipeline system, and of all the forms of corrosion, sweet corrosion occurs more in the internal surface of the steel pipes as a result of carbon dioxide presence. Thus, through numerous research and experimental studies, some counteracting measures were developed such as organic inhibitor, cathodic and anodic protection techniques. Nevertheless, this report aims to reduce the effects of sweet (CO2) corrosion by engaging corrosion product (FeCO3) as a diffusion barrier for corrosion.
