Modified magnetite surface layers on carbon steel in aqueous CO2 environments

Surface layers often form on carbon steel surfaces in carbon dioxide (CO2) saturated environments and under certain conditions can offer corrosion protection to the underlying steel. One such layer, magnetite (Fe3O4) is a semiconductor, having a reported electrical resistivity of the order of 10-2 to 10-1 Ω∙cm and band gap of 0.1 eV. The conductive properties of Fe3O4 are of significant importance when understanding the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel, as Fe3O4 can readily establish a galvanic couple with the steel surface upon which it has formed.

Through implementation of electrochemical and surface analytical techniques, we investigate the behavior of magnetite (Fe3O4) and mixed metal (M) magnetite (MxFe3-xO4) layers on carbon steel surfaces in CO2 environments. Initially, Fe3O4 layers formed naturally at 250°C are evaluated, to fully characterise the behaviour of Fe3O4 layers and their role in carbon steel corrosion across a range of CO2-saturated conditions. Gravimetric measurements were performed to determine corrosion rates, complemented by the implementation of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy to shed further light on the influence of Fe3O4 layers on carbon steel corrosion. To simplify the evaluation of metal dopants, Fe3O4 and MxFe3-xO4 layers were formed on carbon steel by electrodeposition (in sodium hydroxide, metal sulphate solutions at 80°C for 30 min) with similar characteristics to natural layers. The layered coupons were then immersed in a CO2-saturated, pH 5, 50°C solution at atmospheric pressure (aggressive conditions for Fe3O4 survival). EIS measurements were implemented to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of the underlying steel, whilst galvanic corrosion was measured using zero resistance ammetry by coupling the layered coupon to a bare carbon steel coupon. The addition of magnesium and zinc to the Fe3O4 layer enhanced galvanic interaction but showed similar corrosion protection to Fe3O4 layers. The addition of manganese reduced galvanic currents marginally but dramatically reduced the corrosion protection provided by the layer.

Scale is an adherent deposit of inorganic compounds precipitated from water onto surfaces. Most oilfield waters contain certain amounts of dissolved calcium, barium or strontium salts. The mineral scale can be formed by chemical reactions in the formation water itself, by mixing of formation water with injected seawater, or by mixing of the well streams of two incompatible oilfield waters. In carbonate reservoirs, when calcium is deposited as calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate scale, a loss of production and increased maintenance expenses can result. Therefore, effective mitigation of scaling potential is of importance to the oil producers.

Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)-phosphonium Sulfate (THPS) is a very common active ingredient in oil and gas biocides. While product labels provide broad guidelines application dosing the lowest effective dose of THPS is difficult to determine. Site water chemistry and bacteria biology variability will affect the dose need to achieve the desired level of bacteria population control. For these reasons biocide dose response studies are commonly conducted on solutions containing bacteria to determine the effect of treatments before application.

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, can be converted into bio-oil (BO) via thermochemical conversion pathways. Among them, fast pyrolysis is the most common and the only industrially applied approach to convert dry biomass into BO. There are many advantages of using BO to replace traditional fossil fuels. For example, the amount of CO2 generated from biofuel combustion is close to that absorbed in raw biomass growth, leading to a net-zero carbon emission from energy production. BO combustion generates lower emissions of SOx and NOx compared to conventional fossil fuels.
