The purpose of this study was to perform lab analysis to assess the corrosivity of fluids transported
through three transmission lines from Gas Compression Plants (GCPs) to Gas Plants (GPs), where
CO2 varies from 44 to 55 mol%, and H2S varies from 9 to 40 mol%. The study consisted of four parts:
1) corrosion rate prediction using corrosion modeling; 2) uniform corrosion measurements in liquid and
gas phases; 3) pitting corrosion measurements in liquid and gas phases; and 4) gas phase corrosion
measurements. The highest corrosion rate measured under simulated field conditions was 144 mpy
which is much less than the 1500 mpy obtained by running corrosion prediction modeling (CPM). The
highest water film average wall shear stress estimated by CPM for the three lines was 14 Pa. The
highest corrosion rate value, i.e. 144 mpy, was measured at a wall shear stress of 29 Pa assuming a
worst-case scenario. Pitting attacks were observed under one test conditions in the tests left running
for a period of 14 days. The results show that sweet corrosion rates in the liquid phase are comparable
or higher than sour corrosion rates, while in the gas phase sour corrosion rates are higher than their
sweet counterparts. Unlike CO2, the presence of H2S appears to facilitate wetting of the steel surface in
the gas phase. Gas phase corrosion was studied at low velocities to avoid any water splashing. The
highest measured corrosion rate value in the gas phase was 52 mpy.

The terminal is subdivided for Oil, Gas and Produced Water plants. Each of these plants has number of storage tanks. The age of the tanks varies between 15-25 years.  The products held within these tanks varies, from crude oil, condensate, produced water, potable water, to off spec oil and diesel fuel.

Most of the tanks within the facility have a similar CP arrangement and design.  Each tank base is protected by an impressed current grid mesh anode buried in compacted, clean, sand backfill beneath the tank base and is powered by a transformer-rectifier placed outside the bund wall or within an electrical switch room.  Permanent reference electrodes are installed beneath all tank bases to enable accurate potential measurements. Reference electrodes vary from Copper/Copper Sulphate, Silver/Silver Chloride to Zinc.

External corrosion on offshore O&G platforms is one of the biggest threats to asset integrity and its management is a large operational expense. Many operators now implement risk-based assessment (RBA) programs where all equipment is assessed periodically with the aim to reduce operational costs while maintaining integrity. Regulatory codes for offshore platforms in the GoM require a visual inspection of all pressure equipment and piping every five-years. In practice, this can equate to approximately 20% of equipment being inspected per year on a large-sized offshore platform (i.e., a topside weight of around 10,000 tons), with a rolling five-year inspection plan to balance the inspection workload evenly through time.

The work here is the culmination of many years of prior effort in the development of an atmospheric corrosion model and accompanying sensors. Atmospheric corrosion is a complicated process where many factors interact to determine if it occurs and its severity. These factors can be separated into
three general categories: environmental, surface salts, and materials.
