Analysis of Corrosion in Production Tubing Using Monoethylene Glycol and Red Ginger as Inhibitors

Abstract

The production system for industrial oil and gas is susceptible to corrosion, which must be controlled in order to sustain production and well direct as the production of tubing is the initial point of contact with the corrosion fluid and material agent. A chemical reaction between corrosive materials and fluids results in corrosion. Due to its mechanical characteristics, stainless steel has a wide range of uses in the building, chemical, and structural sectors. To combat corrosion issues, several chemical inhibitors are used, and numerous studies are actively working to develop organic inhibitors. Rhizome ginger is an organic component that has a high phenol antioxidant content and antioxidant compound, making it useful for corrosion issues. In this study, the effect of monoethylene glycol and ginger extract inhibitors on corrosion was reviewed. The corrosion rate was computed using an olga simulator, and the influence of the inhibitor on the rate of corrosion and the effectiveness of the inhibitors was examined.
