Corrosion control
Corrosion-inhibitor selection for oilfield production systems and crude-oil pipelines.
How it is used
Film-forming inhibitors adsorb on metal surfaces to help limit contact with the corrosive fluid. Selection must account for the water phase, gas composition, temperature and flow regime, as well as the other chemicals in the treatment programme.
Application areas
- Production tubing and surface equipment
- Crude-oil gathering and transfer lines
- Oilfield systems exposed to corrosive produced fluids
Formulation considerations
Oilfield inhibitor chemistries include imidazoline-based and other film-forming formulations. The selected grade determines phase compatibility and injection requirements.
What we need to select a grade
- Fluid composition, water cut and produced-water analysis
- Temperature, pressure, flow regime and metallurgy
- Corrosion-monitoring data and existing treatment programme
Product data and handling
Request the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the proposed grade. Confirm dosage, compatibility, handling and supply requirements before use.
