Corrosion inhibitors are widely used across the oil and gas industry to protect valuable infrastructure and manage corrosion issues. It is critical these chemicals are applied at a suitable dose: too much chemical can cause emulsion problems and increase OPEX, while too little chemical can leave a system at risk. The detection of corrosion inhibitor micelles can be used to identify the optimum dose. Micelles are nanoscale aggregates and identifying them in complex oilfield fluids, which often consist of multiple phases, is extremely challenging. The first-generation micelle detection technology we developed used complex instrumentation which required highly trained personnel and a lab environment to conduct testing. The technology has since undergone significant development and now consists of a small, rugged instrument, easy-to-use method and the ability to be deployed on-site (i.e. beside a sample point on a pipe). Advances have also been made in data processing and software has been built which gives immediate results. This sophisticated technology package has allowed us to
deploy a new corrosion management strategy in areas of the US onshore pipeline network, whereby an initial audit of a system is conducted to identify any sites of overdosing or underdosing. The corrosion inhibitor injection rates are adjusted accordingly, until dosing is detected to be optimal, and then regular (usually monthly or quarterly) monitoring is implemented. The concentration of chemical required to protect a system can change for a wide variety of reasons, such as increased solids production or change in fluid composition, therefore regular monitoring is essential. Data will be presented on the use of this method in the field.

Corrosion inhibitors are used to prevent pipeline corrosion in oil and gas industry. The evaluation of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most important tasks for the corrosion engineers. Corrosion of the metal is suppressed by the inhibitor adsorption on the metal surface. Active ingredients of corrosion inhibitors are, in general, surfactants. A surfactant can adsorb on the internal metal surface of piping and makes a hydrophobic film preventing the contact of water with the metal surface.

As traditional reserves deplete onshore and offshore, the oil industry is moving into increasingly deeper waters and harsh environments in the pursuit of hydrocarbons. As the industry drills deeper, the challenges that face infrastructure increase markedly with the longstanding issues of corrosion. One of the major challenges to corrosion management is the extreme pressure and temperature.

Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are assets that contain valuable goods for the oil and gas industry. Consequently, monitoring and preventing loss of containment and extending the service life of those assets is a priority for the abovementioned industries. To monitor the degradation process of the tanks, ER probes are typically used to determine the corrosion rates. Corrosion rates can be used to forecast the service life of an asset by estimating the time at which the degradation reaches a critical thickness of the tank. If the corrosion rate is such that the critical thickness is expected to reach below the expected service life of the asset, the lifespan can be extended by corrosion mitigation methods.
