Abstract
Numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the gas-liquid two-phase flow-induced corrosion in high productivity gas wells containing carbon dioxide. The Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model combined with the electrochemical corrosion model was applied to simulate the corrosion rate at the tubing thread connection induced by corrosive medium containing carbon dioxide. The predicted corrosion rate was compared with the field data in the literature. It is shown that the predicted results were conservative when merely considering the phase distribution. Qualitative analysis between the predicted phase distribution, flow characteristics, erosion-corrosion position and the field data was made.
