Management of Corrosion in Shale Development

Available for download

In recent years production of oil and gas from shale formations has multiplied and now contributes significantly to oil and gas supply. This type of unconventional production differs from historical conventional approaches with far reaching consequences for asset integrity management.The present paper outlines corrosion threats associated with shale development including acidizing fracing flowback CO2 and H2S in produced fluids and artificial lift. Usually little detailed information about corrosive exposure is available upfront. The production mode contributes to complex and highly variable environmental conditions. Corrosion cracking and weight loss corrosion of well completion materials are known to have occurred.Whereas classical asset integrity management is usually rolled out over many years the typical timescale in shale production ranges from just months to a few years driving low-cost quick earn-back scenarios. This paper discussed the consequences for materials selection and corrosion control.

Upstream oil production assets, including oil production pipeline network and gas oil water separation facilities, play a dominant role in sustaining production targets to meet customer requirements. Corrosion management of such assets encompasses various phases, such as design, construction, operation, and decommissioning. Proper engineering design and sound construction practices combined with effective monitoring are essential to manage and maintain the corrosion of these assets within acceptable limits. Some of the considerations taken into account during design include: safety, environment, pressure, temperature, material availability, delivery time, and cost. Operating these assets outside of the design boundaries could influence the corrosion process, significantly impacting integrity. Close monitoring of operating parameters, along with identifying the corrosion by employing appropriate inspection techniques, and implementing timely corrective measures, are of paramount importance to preserving the integrity of these critical assets, which otherwise could lead to safety and environmental issues. This paper highlights three case studies involving the importance of cathodic protection monitoring, and failure analysis of an oil pipeline, along with corrosion inhibitor optimization efforts carried out to ensure asset integrity.
