Abstract
In the oil and gas industry, the corrosion attributed to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of the most significant challenges. This review paper systematically investigates the diverse facets of H2S corrosion, including its sources, corrosion locations, mechanisms, and resultant corrosion products. Understanding different forms of H2S corrosion, such as stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking (SO-HIC), sulfide stress cracking (SSC), and hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), provides a thorough comprehension of these phenomena. The paper discusses critical factors influencing H2S corrosion, such as temperature, flow rate, pH, and H2S concentration, highlighting their implications for sustainable practices in the oil and gas sector. The review emphasizes the significance of monitoring and mitigation strategies, covering continuous monitoring, applying corrosion inhibitors, selecting materials, and conducting thorough data analysis and reporting. Furthermore, the role of training in fostering a sustainable approach to H2S corrosion management is highlighted. This exploration advances the overarching goal of sustainable development in the oil and gas industries by providing insights into understanding, monitoring, and mitigating H2S corrosion. The findings presented here offer a foundation for developing environmentally conscious strategies and practices to guarantee the long-term viability and flexibility of refinery operations.
