Abstract
Abstract The purpose of the present work is to investigate the corrosion sensitivity of pipelines of oil and gas wells under complex environmental conditions (i.e., the primary and secondary relationship of the influence of different environmental factors on pipeline corrosion). The orthogonal experiment is introduced to design the experimental scheme. The weight loss method is employed to analyze the average corrosion rate of N80 steel under different environmental conditions. And then the scanning electron microscope is used to explore the surface and cross-section corrosion morphology of the corrosion products. Besides, the components of corrosion products are obtained by the energy spectrum analysis. The research results indicate that H2S partial pressure is the most sensitive factor to the corrosion of N80 pipeline and the influence of CO2 partial pressure on corrosion of N80 pipeline is weaker than Cl− concentration and temperature in the South China Sea. The study can help the oil drilling engineering search for direct and effective corrosion inhibitors under complex environmental conditions.
