In Upstream, CRAs (Corrosion Resistant Alloys) are widely selected to handle seawater and brines in piping, valves, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, and seawater injection1-4. Also, disposal of produced water is commonly performed through injection into spent fields. Water from a variety of sources including produced water, seawater and surface/fresh water may also be injected to create pressure drive for existing fields. Usually dissolved oxygen (DO) is not fully controlled when there are multiple sources of injection water and sometimes even possibility of injection of fully oxygenated water exists. For oxygenated seawater, the PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number = %Cr + 3.3 *(%Mo + 0.5 %W) + 16 %N) shall be >40 and limits are applied to the temperature4. Other applications involve Solid CRA or cladded production pipelines which may get flooded with seawater during installation and precommissioning.

Localized corrosion is known as the most dangerous and unpredictable corrosion mechanisms found in hydrocarbon production and transmission systems. This mode of corrosion has the potential to cause serious financial loss, environmental damage, production interruption, and even loss of life. Over the years, corrosion engineers have made significant improvements on prediction and mitigation techniques to extend the lifespan of carbon steel pipelines, such as using of corrosion inhibitors; injection of such chemicals has proven to be effective and economic, making them a first choice over other alternatives
