    Uploaded by

    Dima Al Kibbi
    This document discusses various types of corrosion that can occur in the oil and gas industry. It describes the corrosion process, involving an anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Some common corrosive media are carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The types of corrosion covered are sweet corrosion from carbon dioxide, sour corrosion from hydrogen sulfide, oxygen corrosion, galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, microbiologically induced corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. The effects of these corrosion types on oil and gas infrastructure are also summarized.

    CORROSION IN OIL AND GAS

    INDUSTRY
    CORROSION- It is the deterioration of the metal
    layer by the reaction with the aqueous
    environment.

    CORROSION PROCESS

    1. Composed of three elements – anode, cathode


    and electrolyte
    2. Corrosion takes place at anode , cathode
    remains unaffected
    3. Electrolyte solution – enables the transfer of
    electron
    CORROSIVE MEDIA IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

     Carbon dioxide
    H2CO3 Reaction : Fe + H2CO3 →FeCO3 + H2

     Hydrogen sulphide
    H2S Reaction : Fe + H2S + H2O →FeS + 2H

    These results in the corrosion (degradation of the


    material) which ultimately effects the
    mechanical properties of the material (ductility
    and impact strength).
    TYPES OF CORROSION IN OIL AND GAS
    INDUSTRY

    1. Sweet corrosion
    2. Sour corrosion
    3. Oxygen corrosion
    4. Galvanic corrosion
    5. Crevice corrosion
    6. Microbiologically induced corrosion
    7. Stress corrosion cracking
    SWEET CORROSION
    1. Carbon dioxide corrosion is its
    another name
    2. Becomes active in aqueous
    environment (H2CO3) and
    increases with temperature(PH
    increase)
    TWO TYPES

    . PITTING CORROSION- localized


    corrosion , rapid penetration
    and removal of metal.

    . MESA CORROSION- localized


    corrosion of co2 under medium
    flow conditions.
    SOUR CORROSION
     Erosion of metal surface by
    the attack of hydrogen
    sulphide.
     Alone it is a non corrosive,
    forms a weak acid with water
    (iron sulphide ions and
    hydrogen ions)
     FeSx ions forms scale that
    acts as barrier to slow
    corrosion at low temperature
    sour corrosion are uniform,
    pitting, and stepwise cracking
    H2S + Fe + H2O →FeSx +
    2H+ H2O
    Found in drilling pipies
    Microbiologically induced
    corrosion
     Corrosion caused by bacterial
    activities, it produces
    CO2,H2S and organic acids
    that corrode the pipe by
    increasing the toxicity of
    flowing fluid
     Bacteria's (Achromobacter,
    Flavobacterium and
    Desulfuricans ) form colonies
    (forming the large mass)and
    enhance the corrosion process
    under this also cause severe
    plugging problems.
     Appearance- Black slimy
    waste material or nodules in
    pipes.
    GALVENIC CORROSION
     Corrosion occurs when
    two materials are at
    different electrochemical
    potentials and are in
    contact with one another
    in electrolytic medium.
     Metal with most negative
    potential behave as
    anode and other cathode.
     It occurs in the form of
    intergranular corrosion
     bronze strainer on a
    aluminum hose barb.
    Crevice corrosion
     Crevice corrosion is normally
    a localized corrosion taking
    place in narrow clearances
    where fluid gets stagnant in
    gap
     This is caused by
    concentration differences of
    corodents over a metal
    surface. Electrochemical
    potential differences result in
    selective crevice or pitting
    corrosion attack.
     Oxygen dissolved in drilling
    fluid promotes crevice and
    pitting attack
    Stress corrosion cracking
     SCC is the cracking
    induced from the
    combined influence of
    tensile stress and a
    corrosive medium.
     Corrosion is due to the
    corrosive environment,
    high PH and cracking by
    the stress induced due
    to parallel crack on the
    pipeline.
     SCC is a form of
    localized corrosion.
    OXYGEN CORROSION
     Oxygen is a strong
    oxidant and reacts with
    metals very quickly.
     It magnifies the
    corrosive effect CO2
    and H2S (acidic gases)
     The forms of corrosion
    associated with oxygen
    are mainly uniform
    corrosion and pitting-
    type corrosion.
