Effect of Elevated Temperatures (30-80°C) on CO2 Corrosion after Intermittent Oil/Water Wetting

The main goal of this research is to electrochemically determine the influence of temperature elevation (30 °C - 80 °C) on the wetting state and corrosion behavior of mild steel during intermittent oil/water wetting. The results obtained in separate experiments demonstrated that the corrosion mitigation effect of an oil phase (LVT-200 model oil) containing myristic acid (surface-active compound representing naturally occurring oxygen-containing compounds in crude oils) on CO2 corrosion decreased with temperature after intermittent wetting. The influence of the same temperature range on interfacial properties during intermittent oil/water wetting such as oil/water interfacial tension (IFT) and oil-in-water contact angle were also investigated. For model oil containing myristic acid, the IFT value was unchanged with temperature and could not be correlated to the corrosion rate. In the presence of the oil phase, the surface became more hydrophilic at 55 °C, which diminished the adsorption and persistency of the oil layer and decreased the corrosion mitigation effect. The effect of temperature on IFT and contact angle can depend on the nature of oil and surface-active compound.
