In subsea oil and gas production, both corrosion inhibitors and hydrate inhibitors are used for chemical treatment due to the severe conditions encountered. Performance is traditionally measured separately due to the low CO2 corrosion rates at temperatures where hydrates form, resulting in plugged flowlines. However, hydrates under certain conditions can alter the rate of metal loss due to changes in fluid chemistry and potentially due erosion and erosion corrosion. The effects corrosion inhibitors, methanol, and low dosage hydrate inhibitors (LDHI's) on the measured corrosion rate under low shear and high shear conditions in the presence of hydrates are concurrently measured. Under the test conditions, significant quantities of hydrates are formed without an inhibitor present. The difference in measured corrosion rates and the qualitative trends between methanol, hydrate inhibitors, a corrosion inhibitor, and their combinations are illustrated. The role of both temperature and shear stress in hydrate and corrosion inhibition is experimentally measured in the laboratory. The role of erosion due to hydrate formation is also explored. Keywords: deepwater, corrosion inhibitor, hydrate, gas production, electrochemistry, production chemicals, oil production, wet gas, hydrate inhibitor
