Integrated Design and Analysis of Corrosion Rate Model on Tubular Pipe of Oil and Gas Production Well

Corrosion occurrence in the oil and gas production system is an example of an unavoidable problem. This problem is caused by the presence of water and corrosive material fraction along with the produced hydrocarbon. On the way from the reservoir to the surface, the mixture between water fraction and the corrosive substance might adhere to the wall of conduit steel pipe (e.g. tubing, casing, and flowline) and can lead to corrosion on the wall. The corrosion problem can have a major impact on the economics of the production because the cost of production equipment is relatively expensive and workover operation is very costly. Therefore, planning and mitigation for a better production system need to be performed, so that the rate of corrosion can be controlled, and its economic impacts can be minimized. The purpose of this study was to create an integrated model of the corrosion rate calculation on the tubing by the Petroleum Engineering Study Program of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). Several terms related to the production process were considered in this model: the characteristics of the produced fluid, flow regimes, pressure and temperature conditions along the tubing, the trajectory of the well, the type of tubing material used, and the use of inhibitors. The model was developed from the model developed by C. de Waard, Liane Smith, and Mike Billingham. The corrosion rate calculation model was then validated using field data and the results were compared with the result from industrial commercial software, Electronic Corrosion Engineer (ECE®). The corrosion rate calculation model were able to predict the rate of corrosion in oil and gas wells accurately. A software-based system was created based on this integrated and accurate proven model. By using this software, the production system can be simulated and tested for various conditions, and then the result can be compared with each other to obtain the optimum fluid production rate with minimum corrosion rate. In addition, this software is capable to determine the most suitable tubing material which will be used in a given production environment and condition.

The Virtual Corrosion Engineer

The conventional corrosion management process consists of defining the expected process conditions, identifying potential corrosion threats, and estimating their likely rate, then using that information to develop mitigation plans and inspection schedules. The Virtual Corrosion Engineer (VCE) project aims to improve this process by utilizing online monitoring data to automate the running of the best available corrosion models and provide a continuously updated dashboard in real time. This paper provides an overview of the VCE, together with a brief discussion of the underlying models for two exemplar damage mechanisms, High-Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) and Under Deposit Corrosion (UDC) in steam generators.

The most of today's global oil production comes from mature fields. Oil companies and governments are both concerned about increasing oil recovery from aging resources. To maintain oil production, the mature field must apply the Enhanced Oil Recovery method. water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection is an enhanced oil recovery method designed to improve sweep efficiency during injection with the injected water to control the mobility of . This study will discuss possible corrosion during and water injection and the casing load calculation along with the production tubing during the injection phase. The following study also performed a suitable material selection for the best performance injection. This research was conducted by evaluating casing integrity for simulate water-alternating-gas (WAG) to be applied in the X-well in the Y-field, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Corrosion prediction were performed using Electronic Corrosion Engineer (ECE®) corrosion model and for the strength of tubing which included burst, collapse, and tension of production casing was assessed using Microsoft Excel. This study concluded that for the casing load calculation results in 600 psi of burst pressure, collapse pressure of 2,555.64 psi, and tension of 190,528 lbf. All of these results are still following the K-55 production casing rating. While injecting , the maximum corrosion rate occurs. It has a maximum corrosion rate of 2.02 mm/year and a minimum corrosion rate of 0.36 mm/year. With this value, it is above NORSOK Standard M-001 which is 2 mm/year and needs to be evaluated to prevent the rate to remain stable and not decrease in the following years. To prevent the effect of maximum corrosion rate, the casing material must use a SM13CR (Martensitic Stainless Steel) which is not sour service material.

Keynote: Corrosion-Electrochemistry Based Undergraduate Curricula: Finding a Balance Between Chemistry, Materials and Engineering

The baccalaureate program in Corrosion Engineering at The University of Akron is the first of its kind in the nation. It was formed in response to Federal Government interest and industry need in the area. The idea was first presented in 2006 and the University welcomed its first freshman class in 2010. The degree is a traditional engineering degree based on a math, science and general education courses that support engineering science and engineering design courses; students take courses from five different engineering programs. At its core are classes and laboratories in corrosion electrochemistry, high temperature oxidation, and corrosion engineering management. In addition, the students are exposed to hands-on experience as a corrosion engineer through the co-op program. This curriculum was developed using input from a number of stakeholders in government, industry and academia that wanted students with knowledge in corrosion basics, materials characterization and corrosion prevention and the ability to diagnose failures, guide maintenance and repair as well as perform risk based assessment. In this presentation we will review the method that lead to the current program as well as feedback from co-op experiences including both student and employer perspectives.

Risk-Based Inspection of a Crude Oil Import/Export Line: The Corrosion Engineer’s Role

This paper uses the case study of a line used to import and export stabilized crude oil to illustrate the steps, the benefits and the role of a corrosion engineer for a typical semi-quantitative Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) process. The line was originally designed for dry service, but currently receives a significant amount of produced water which accumulates in deadlegs with resultant deterioration. Historically, this line also experienced a number of high profile failures attributed to microbial activity, preferential weld decay and corrosion under insulation. Consequently the HSE issued an improvement notice which included a requirement for an RBI study to mitigate these threats and to provide operational integrity assurance. The scope of the RBI review considered in this paper covers only the corrosion circuit, which is from the tank isolation valve to the storage tanks. On the basis of the identified threats and the associated risks, the following inspection, monitoring, and repair (IMR) actions were recommended by the RBI team: (1) an intermediate, non-invasive, rolling inspection at a 12-monthly frequency. This includes a 100% ultrasonic testing (UT) or saturated low frequency eddy current (SLOFEC) scan of all susceptible deadlegs and a USFD (using time of flight diffraction, ToFD) of all welds on the deadlegs; (2) a thorough, non-invasive inspection at a 36-monthly frequency. This includes a full line walk and general visual inspection; a 100% UT scan or SLOFEC on all deadlegs; inspection of small bore branches for fatigue cracks with magnetic particle inspection (MPI) or eddy current (EC) Inspection and visual examination of all accessible supports; (3) a survey to identify corrosion monitoring locations for probes, coupons and sampling points; and (4) Identification and deletion of all unnecessary deadlegs during the next turn around (TAR) maintenance. These actions have since been implemented and provide the largest single contribution to the significant reduction in the number of failures/anomalies experienced on this line. The primary role of the corrosion engineer in this process is to ensure that all the credible threats for this circuit (generic and from inspection history) are identified, risk assessed, and appropriate inspection/monitoring techniques and frequencies identified, and assigned in order to mitigate the high risk threats.

For most firms — WHAT MAKES A CORROSION ENGINEER?

In this, the second in a series of articles on the important topic of management attitudes to corrosion and anti‐corrosion, the author analyses the complexities involved in identifying, choosing and educating a corrosion engineer. Referring to the illustration to this article which represents a simplification of the human categories involved, one might say that the successful formula for most medium‐sized firms is C + E = B where C is a chosen apprentice or student, E is education and B is the result, an improved type of maintenance manager having the capacity ot identify a wide variety of corrosion problems and equipped to present these, if necessary, to the specialist for particular solutions. The corrosion consultancy D is recommended particularly for small firms.

A Copper Ion Displacement Test for Screening Corrosion Inhibitors

Abstract A method for the selection of the most suitable corrosion inhibitor for a particular system is given. The method involves the evaluation of surface passivity by means of copper ion displacement after the metal surface has been subjected to the corrosive atmosphere. The application of the method to the selection of suitable inhibitors for use in producing wells is described. Correlation with recognized laboratory tests has been found to be good within the limitations of the test. The use of the test to evaluate inhibitor persistence is described. Introduction Corrosion as it is associated with the industry shows wide variations in its qualitative as well as its quantitative aspects. This complicates the work of the corrosion engineer. In the past few years the efforts of the corrosion engineer have been further taxed by the large numbers of products being marketed as corrosion inhibitors by various manufacturers. These products are submitted to him together with a limited amount of data to support their use as inhibitors. The data are usually authentic and reliable yet all too often when these products are applied to an actual corrosive system the results are disappointing due to the ineffectiveness of the inhibitor and the corrosive system. The corrosion engineer must select a comparatively limited number of inhibitors for field trial from the large number available. The selection is usually made on the basis of a standardized laboratory test such as that adopted by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers or by field experience in an area; however, testing of this type is discouraging on large numbers of compounds, particularly in view of the specificity of environment. It has been an object of this work to devise a method which will allow the corrosion engineer to select the best inhibitor for a specific environment under field conditions. The test would of necessity be rapid and inexpensive. It would preferably eliminate the need for expensive and delicate instruments.

ERRATUM—Robert Mallet—Pioneer Corrosion Engineer

Robert Mallet-Pioneer Corrosion Engineer

Abstract An appraisal has been made of the reports of Robert Mallet on the action of water and air upon iron and steel, based on tests made in 1838–42 under the sponsorship of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. These reports are of interest for their revelation of the remarkably clear, comprehensive and practical knowledge of corrosion possessed at that early date. A brief review of some aspects of progress in the understanding of corrosion from 1800 to the present is also given.
