Aker BP is planning to drill four high-pressure, high-temperature wells in a gas field. The produced fluids are primarily composed of gas condensate with formation water. The operator anticipates a chloride environment greater than 120,000 mg/L in these four wells. ISO 15156 specifies a chloride limit of 120,000 mg/L for super duplex alloys for downhole applications. The objectives of this study are to determine the chemistry inside these four wells, to identify the test parameters representative of the downhole environment, and to assess if UNS S39274, UNS N08535 and UNS N06255 are suitable tubing materials. Thermodynamic modeling based on the anticipated production rate from each well was employed for the determination of downhole chemistry. Results show that chloride concentration can reach 308,000 mg/L. Scaling of halite, barite, calcite, and aragonite was also predicted to occur at certain depths inside the well. The parameters used for fitness-for-purpose testing were selected based on chloride conditions with and without halite scaling. The performance of UNS S39274, UNS N08535 and UNS N06255 was assessed using four-point bend tests, crevice corrosion tests, and slow strain rate tests in the simulated downhole environment with 0.025 bar pH2S, 16.6 bar pCO2 and high chloride concentration. No cracking was observed on UNS S39274 and UNS N06255 four-point bend specimens. However, one out of twelve UNS N08535 specimens tested exhibited a crack at a location outside the inner roller of the four-point bend jig. The corrosion rates of UNS S39274, UNS N08535, and UNS N06255 based on mass loss are 0.18 mpy, 0.23 mpy, and 0.09 mpy, respectively. Slow strain rate test results showed no significant loss in ductility, and no secondary cracking when specimens were tested in downhole high chloride conditions. The overall results of the study indicated that these corrosion resistant alloys are able to withstand chloride concentrations beyond the specified limits when H2S partial pressure is low.

CO2 stream in CCS system usually contains impurities, such as water, O2, SO2, NO2, H2S, and other trace substances, which could pose a threat to internal corrosion and integrity of CO2 transportation pipelines. The general and localized corrosion behavior of API 5L X65 mild steel were evaluated using an autoclave both in water-saturated CO2 and CO2-saturated water environments in the presence of varying concentrations of O2. Experiments were performed at 25 °C and 35 °C, 8 MPa and 35 °C, 4 MPa to simulate the conditions encountered during dense, supercritical and gaseous CO2 transport. General corrosion rates were obtained by weight-loss method. The surface morphology of the coupons was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that general corrosion rates at each O2 concentration in CO2-saturated water environment were much higher than those in water-saturated CO2 environment. The corrosion rates did not increase with increasing O2 concentration from 0 to 2000 ppm; instead the corrosion rate reached a maximum with 1000 ppm O2 at 25 °C, 8 MPa and 50 ppm O2 at 35 °C, 8 MPa in water-saturated CO2 environment and 50 ppm at 25 °C, 8 MPa and 100 ppm at 35 °C, 8 MPa in CO2-saturated water environment. However, the change trend of general corrosion rate with O2 content at 35 °C, 4 MPa was different from that in 25 °C and 35 °C, 8 MPa both in water-saturated CO2 and CO2-saturated water environments. Localized corrosion or general corrosion rate of over 0.1 mm/y was identified at each test condition both in a water-saturated CO2 and CO2-saturated water environments. When O2 was added, coupon surfaces were covered by a more porous corrosion product scale. A final series of tests conducted with the addition of 100 ppm and 2000 ppm O2 in CO2 environment with 60% relative humidity (RH) and 80% RH revealed that no localized corrosion was observed and the general corrosion rates were lower than 0.1 mm/y at 25 °C and 35 °C, 8
