Sour corrosion products could have a significant impact on the corrosion rate of carbon steel in H2S environments. It is widely believed that the different iron sulfides have different effects due to their distinct physico-chemical properties. Therefore an in-depth knowledge on the formation conditions of these polymorphous phases is of virtual importance for the understanding of sour corrosion process.Many studies have been performed to determine the key factors such as temperature solution pH H2S partial pressure and the duration of exposure in the formation of polymorphous iron sulfides; yet their formation conditions stability and phase relations are still not fully understood. This is partially due to the complex nature of sulfide and iron chemistry and their sensitiveness to oxygen. Seemingly minor changes in test conditions can often lead to dramatically different results.In this paper we present a statistic study on the corrosion products formed in some high temperature and high H2S gas wells in Saudi Arabia. Large numbers of deposits collected from downhole tubulars and wellhead manifolds are characterized for phase compositions. Results show a wide range of mineral phases and significant variation among the samples analyzed. The polymorphous iron sulfides include pyrrhotite pyrite marcasite troilite mackinawite and greigite in the order of abundance. Ferric iron compounds such as hematite magnetite akaganeite goethite and lepidocrocite are also identified in many samples. In addition ferrous iron products especially siderite are often detected. Based on the deposit structure analysis the formation mechanisms of these different types of corrosion products are discussed. It is hoped that the results from this work will contribute to further understanding of the sour corrosion process and provide value for corrosion and scale mitigation in oil and gas fields.

Sour Weld Corrosion Mitigation with a Low Dose Inhibitor

Preferential weld corrosion offers a uniquely different mitigation challenge to operators of high throughput oilfield production in carbon steel pipelines. This has a significant impact on the expected lifetime of the pipeline and thus will require chemical inhibition programs to control such localized corrosion effects. As a part of OPEX these programs require field optimization whilst providing the desired level of corrosion protection at minimum inhibitor dose rate.A low dose corrosion inhibitor has been developed that inhibits sour corrosion of individual weld components of pre-corroded steel coupons prepared from pipeline material. Metallurgical analysis of the weld section extracted from the pipeline was performed which illustrated unusual composition of the material.The lower corrosion inhibitor dose also reduces the influence of secondary effects (including emulsion and foaming) eliminating the need for specialized formulation additives and the injection of additional chemistries. Due to the low water cut and the stratified flow regime of a subsea pipeline the partitioning behavior of the product was an important consideration during product development. Since the treatment of bacteria in the pipeline was necessary the compatibility of the inhibitor with the incumbent biocide was critical.This paper details the test work performed to develop a new inhibitor to prevent weld corrosion under sour conditions. The inhibitor was evaluated in numerous performance under including kettle tests high pressure autoclaves partitioning and autoclave weldment corrosion tests.
