Effect of Salt Concentration on CO2 Uniform Corrosion

Hydrocarbon extracted from oil and gas wells is typically accompanied by the production of brines. Salt concentration or salinity is a general characteristic of brines that can vary from 1000 to 400000 mg/l. The effect of salt concentration on uniform CO2 corrosion has been studied in the past however most of these studies have been performed at low salt concentrations usually between 1 to 3 wt.% NaCl. Moreover no true mechanistic study of corrosion has been done to cover the higher ranges of salt concentration. In this study CO2 uniform corrosion of an API X65 carbon steel was studied by weight loss (WL) linear polarization resistance (LPR) and potentiodynamic polarization methods in a range of NaCl concentration from 0 to 20 wt.%. The WL and LPR results both showed a maximum in the corrosion rate at 1 wt.% NaCl. The polarization curves showed that the key change due to higher salt concentrations was in the cathodic limiting current.Keywords: CO2 uniform corrosion carbon steel high salt concentration weight loss linear polarization resistance potentiodynamic polarization
