A top-of-line corrosion (TLC) model integrated into a CO2/H2S corrosion prediction model. The TLC model determines the top of the line corrosion rate of carbon steel based on water chemistry and film-wise condensation rate. The effect of various glycols, such as Monoethylene Glycol, Diethylene glycol and Triethylene Glycol, are included.
In oil and gas production the potential damage to the oil and gas transportation lines caused by Top of the Line Corrosion (TLC) has become a key concern for pipeline operators given the inability of currently available prediction models to accurately capture the phase behavior and concomitant water condensation a precursor to TLC. Another concern with TLC is that continuous corrosion inhibitor application is usually not effective as TLC occurs in stratified flows where corrosion inhibitors can hardly reach corroding locations.This paper details a TLC model integrated into a CO2/H2S corrosion prediction model developed by the authors’ organization. The TLC model determines the Top of The Line corrosion rate of carbon steel based on iron concentration and film-wise condensation rate. The effect of various glycols such as Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Diethylene glycol (DEG) and Triethylene Glycol (TEG) are included. Experimental data and field data were used for model validation and the predicted condensation rates and TLC rates demonstrated good agreement.

The model was evaluated and effects of various parameters on corrosion rates are described. Corrosion rates obtained from the model are compared with actual field and lab testing data as a basis to quantify accuracy and efficacy.

The NORSOK M-506 is an empirical model based on experiments undertaken in a single phase water flow loop. The data is from experiments with low content of iron ions in the water phase, and the model is thus regarded to give a fair representation of the maximum corrosion rate in a CO2 corrosion controlled system.
