Down-the-Hole Withhout a Paddle: Corrosion Mitigation of Wellhead Surface Casings Using IMM Coatings

This paper outlines the aggressive service conditions experienced by wellhead casings and the resulting failures seen to date in the Alberta oil patch. Deleterious in-service conditions include; high temperatures and significant temperature fluctuations, expansion and contraction of the steel substrate, and the wet and dry oxidizing micro-environment, the influence of concrete, and a plethora of chlorides and other contaminants elevating the corrosion rate. Previous corrosion mitigation programs and current inspection techniques are reviewed.
