Multiphase transportation of wet natural gas from production wells to treatment facilities exposes pipeline to corrosion risks. Among all types of corrosion attacks, pitting corrosion is the most common cause of failures in gas pipelines. Stochastic nature of pit initiation and growth cast uncertainty on CO2 pitting corrosion prediction. This paper discusses how precipitation of scales and corrosion products on the pipe surface along with other influencing factors contributed to the initiation of pits and finally failure of a wet gas pipeline in a sweet gas field, south of Iran. The technical analysis provided in this study is helpful for further understanding of pitting corrosion in wet gas pipelines.

Key words: CO2 pitting corrosion, Multiphase gas pipeline, Corrosion inhibitor, Corrosion product, API 5L X65, Scale.
