Over the past decades, several corrosion prediction models have been developed for Upstream Oil and
Gas process conditions. These models provide the unmitigated corrosion rates in typical sweet or sour
conditions. However, the practice of field operations is typically based on the mitigated corrosion rate.
Therefore, the predicted unmitigated corrosion rates cannot directly be used to understand real-life
situation unless the effect of mitigation is effectively considered. Currently, the mitigated corrosion rate
is typically quantified via a very simplified method (e.g. corrosion inhibitor availability).
Corrosion prediction is designed to look forward and, ideally, should also be part of corrosion and asset
integrity management. For this purpose, a robust analysis of the mitigation practices and methods is
essential. This paper provides an overview of aspects to be considered when predicting mitigated
corrosion rate for the case of continuous corrosion inhibitor (CI) injection as the mitigation barrier. It is
proposed to use a combination of models to calculate the mitigated corrosion rate in a practical and
reliable way. It is recognized that partitioning of the CI among different phases is a key aspect in
relation to the field application of inhibitors. Therefore, guidance is provided to incorporate this as part
of the corrosion mitigation and its prediction.

CO2 stream in CCS system usually contains impurities, such as water, O2, SO2, NO2, H2S, and other trace substances, which could pose a threat to internal corrosion and integrity of CO2 transportation pipelines. The general and localized corrosion behavior of API 5L X65 mild steel were evaluated using an autoclave both in water-saturated CO2 and CO2-saturated water environments in the presence of varying concentrations of O2. Experiments were performed at 25 °C and 35 °C, 8 MPa and 35 °C, 4 MPa to simulate the conditions encountered during dense, supercritical and gaseous CO2 transport. General corrosion rates were obtained by weight-loss method. The surface morphology of the coupons was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that general corrosion rates at each O2 concentration in CO2-saturated water environment were much higher than those in water-saturated CO2 environment. The corrosion rates did not increase with increasing O2 concentration from 0 to 2000 ppm; instead the corrosion rate reached a maximum with 1000 ppm O2 at 25 °C, 8 MPa and 50 ppm O2 at 35 °C, 8 MPa in water-saturated CO2 environment and 50 ppm at 25 °C, 8 MPa and 100 ppm at 35 °C, 8 MPa in CO2-saturated water environment. However, the change trend of general corrosion rate with O2 content at 35 °C, 4 MPa was different from that in 25 °C and 35 °C, 8 MPa both in water-saturated CO2 and CO2-saturated water environments. Localized corrosion or general corrosion rate of over 0.1 mm/y was identified at each test condition both in a water-saturated CO2 and CO2-saturated water environments. When O2 was added, coupon surfaces were covered by a more porous corrosion product scale. A final series of tests conducted with the addition of 100 ppm and 2000 ppm O2 in CO2 environment with 60% relative humidity (RH) and 80% RH revealed that no localized corrosion was observed and the general corrosion rates were lower than 0.1 mm/y at 25 °C and 35 °C, 8
