The effect of H2S on the aqueous corrosion behavior of mild steel was evaluated at HPHT conditions (supercritical CO2 pressure) at a total pressure of 12 MPa and a temperature of 160°C. The corrosion rate of steel samples was determined by electrochemical and weight loss measurements. The surface/cross-sectional morphology and the composition of the corrosion product layers were analyzed by using surface analytical techniques (SEM, EDS, and XRD). Results showed that the corrosion rate decreased with time and no significant difference was observed in the presence of 1000 and 2000 ppm of H2S at HPHT CO2 conditions. Surface and cross-sectional analyses revealed that the corrosion process is governed by the formation of FeCO3 regardless of the presence of H2S. Furthermore, the corrosion behavior of mild steel in these conditions did not depend significantly on flow velocity.
Key words: Supercritical CO2, CO2 corrosion, carbon steel, H2S, high temperature
Experiments were carried out in a 7.5L autoclave with two combinations of CO2 partial pressure and temperature and different H2S concentrations. Corrosion behavior of specimens was evaluated using electrochemical measurements and surface analytical techniques.

H2S corrosion mechanisms, specifically at high partial pressures of H2S (pH2S), have not been extensively studied because of experimental difficulties and associated safety issues. The current study was conducted under well-controlled conditions at pH2S of 0.05 and 0.096 MPa.
Mild steel specimens (API 5L X65) were pretreated to form a pyrrhotite layer on the surface using high temperature sulfidation in oil, then exposed to a range of aqueous CO2 and H2S corrosion environments, leading to initiation of localized corrosion.
