Abstract
Corrosion sensing is essential to monitor and safeguard the materials’ health and control the maintenance cost of corrosion-prone materials used in various industries. The petroleum industry is a major sufferer of corrosion costs among various industries due to pipelines and downhole applications. This review article encompasses an overview of various technologies used in early detection stages for more reliable corrosion sensing and warnings. This review provides a summary of corrosion types, corrosion causing chemical species, different destructive and non-destructive technologies used in monitoring corrosion and a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of various electrochemical techniques used for surface and downhole corrosion monitoring. Finally, the existing challenges for corrosion monitoring in surface and downhole conditions and prospects are discussed.
Highlights
Physical, chemical and/or electrochemical annihilation of a material by its atmosphere is termed corrosion [1]
The findings indicate that appropriate calculation of resistance values gives a real indication of corrosion rates where general, uniform corrosion occurs for the tested alloys
The results revealed that the coating resistance, Rct and noise resistance decreased with prolonged storage time
Summary
Chemical and/or electrochemical annihilation of a material by its atmosphere is termed corrosion [1]. The qualitative and quantitative knowledge about on-going corrosion and chemical compounds present forms the basis of taking informed actions. This information is crucial to decide the type of solution needed. Information regarding the nature and amount of corrosives present continuously is either not or scantily available through fluid sampling and laboratory analysis [11,12] To resolve these challenges of predominant corrosion sensor technology, there is irrepressible instinct to develop unique corrosion sensor with distinct essential properties such as simplicity of measurement and data interpretation, the precision of corrosion rate, applicability in a wide range of environmental corrosivity, response to a change in corrosion measurement, cost effective, reset mechanism, reliable, able to measure variable parameters. Our major focus is to present a broad prospective of various promising electrochemical methods employed for corrosion monitoring and the current progress and challenges related to corrosion sensing on the surface and downhole conditions, employing electrochemical methods for corrosion monitoring applications
