Slurry pipeline systems are used for the extraction of bitumen from mined ore in the oil sands industry in Alberta, Canada. Most of these extraction processes are open to atmosphere resulting in significant air ingress and entrainment within the slurry pipelines used to transport mined ore and tailings. In addition, for short hydrotransport slurry pipelines, the slurry is conditioned by air to create bubbles coated with a bitumen film called “air-sacks”.

A linear polarization resistance probe was used to study corrosion rates in oil sands dense slurries. The study was conducted in a pilot-scale horizontal slurry flow loop with nine test conditions evaluated. Slurry consisted of a bimodal (sand and rocks) particle distribution mixed with municipal water. The sand had a median size, d50 of approximately 0.776 mm and spread (d90 / d10) ratios in the range of 2.5 to 3.5. The rocks ranged in size from 6 to 12 mm (0.25 to 0.5 inches). The study was done in a 193.7 mm (7.625 inch) carbon steel pipe flow loop with mixture velocity and solids concentration of 4.5-7.0 m/s and 19.3-29.1 v/v%, respectively. The oxygen was injected to achieve a dissolved oxygen concentration of 1.0 ppm to 11.7 ppm. The measured corrosion rates were used to validate five existing corrosion rate models. The interaction of slurry flow characteristics and corrosion is a complex phenomenon and poses a significant challenge for any modeling attempts. Nonetheless, several findings in this work can be leveraged for corrosion predictions. The slurry effect on corrosion was not linear but depended highly on slurry flow regime, fines content, dissolved oxygen concentration, and local solids concentration and velocity distributions. In general, most existing models either overestimated or underestimated corrosion rates, with a couple showing some promise for further evaluation.

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.

A suitable acid package in matrix acidizing application is very important to the stimulation employed to improve the productivity of carbonate reservoirs. Typically, concentrated acids between 5 and 28 wt% are used and the most used mineral acid for carbonate acidizing treatment is hydrochloric acid (HCl) 1,2. A significant challenge of acidizing treatment is corrosion loss of metal tubulars due to the high reactivity of acid and metal, especially at high temperatures. Corrosion inhibitors are needed to reduce the corrosion loss of steel surface of facilities exposed in acidic environment.

The efforts to lower automotive component weight to make cars more fuel efficient has increased the demand for aluminum alloys. In these applications, substantial amounts of heat are generated due to engine combustion, making it necessary to cool the engine systems. Metals in an engine application will rely on coolant to transfer heat. Corrosion behavior is another consideration for metals. Aluminum alloys, similar to the metals they are replacing, are sensitive to corrosion, especially in an aqueous alkaline environment.
