Two types of corrosion inhibitors were studied. One of them, is better in adsorption performance in astatic environment such as batch treatment. The other shows better inhibitor efficiency under highshear stress conditions.These inhibitors could be differentiated with contact angle measurements. Thecontact angle is the angle between a tangent to the drop's surface at the contact point and a tangent tothe supporting substrate surface. The shape of the drop reveals the wettability and adhesion betweenthe liquid drop and the substrate material.The steel surface becomes hydrophobic and lipophilic after the inhibitor adsorbing. This is themechanism of corrosion inhibitor performance on metal surfaces.The contact angle was measured onsteel in air or water, where the inhibitor diluted in oil was placed. The two inhibitors showed differentbehaviors. The higher wettability seems favorable for the chemical adsorption on the metal substrate ina flowing system. In this paper, some ideas of contact angle measurement are also discussed. The testmethod describes in this work differentiates such inhibitor behavior clearly. This will provide a fieldoperator an important first step to screen the inhibitors.

Corrosion of pipelines made of carbon steel and exposed to wet hydrocarbons containing CO2 and H2S is a common but serious problem encountered in petroleum industry and its occurrence causes enormousexpense due to production downtime, accidental injuries, and replacement costs. Control and prevent corrosion using chemical treatment (e.g. corrosion inhibitor injection) is one of the most cost-effective solutions and commonly practiced methods to prevent corrosion failures in pipelines in oil and gas industry. Generally speaking, the active corrosion inhibitor (CI) components in commercial CI packages are usually organic, nitrogen-based surfactants such as amines, imidazoline and its derivatives. Due to the amphiphilic nature of surfactants, a good fraction of the injected CI will inevitably go into the oil phase through partitioning and to the oil/water interface.
Corrosion inhibitors are used to prevent pipeline corrosion in oil and gas industry. The evaluation of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most important tasks for the corrosion engineers. Corrosion of the metal is suppressed by the inhibitor adsorption on the metal surface. Active ingredients of corrosion inhibitors are, in general, surfactants. A surfactant can adsorb on the internal metal surface of piping and makes a hydrophobic film preventing the contact of water with the metal surface.
