Internal corrosion of pipelines associated with oil and gas production and refinery has always been a challenge for corrosion engineers. Over the past decades, corrosion engineers have made significant progress in developing mitigation approaches to protect these carbon steel pipelines by using corrosion inhibitors (CIs), corrosion resistant materials, and various cleaning techniques. Among all these mitigation strategies, corrosion inhibitors are considered as the first choice in handling the internal corrosion of pipelines.

It has become somewhat common in the oil and gas industry to convert producing wells containing 13Cr stainless steels to water injection wells. This practice has led to numerous tubing failures due to pitting of the 13Cr from oxygen dissolved in the injection water. The water source for these wells is often from produced water and seawater but other waters may also be injected.
Pitting corrosion susceptibility of UNS N06600, UNS N06690 and UNS N08800 was studied in pure 1 M NaCl with and without Na2S2O3 additions. The alloys were tested in the as-received (AR), solution annealed (SA) and aged (SA + A) conditions.
Permissible level of sulfur emissions from ocean vessels have been reduced. Diesel exhaust scrubbers are one response. The scrubber environment requires corrosion resistant alloys. This study compares multiple alloys in several simulated scrubber environments.
The Joint Operation (J.O) Wafra Oilfield is in the west central part of the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. The Wafra oilfield produces light and heavy oil and export it to its various customers after processing. Upstream field consists of various Sub Centres where crude, oil and water being separated, and the separated crude transported to the main gathering centre for further processing in two different trains. The produced water being disposed/injected via water disposal & injection facilities after treatment.

Protection effectiveness of commercially available vapor corrosion inhibitors powders with different particle size was evaluated. Conventional powder size of and nano-particle powder inhibiting effectiveness was compared using the vapor-inhibiting ability (VIA) NACE TM 208.
Being one of the most applied nickel alloy in the oil and gas industry, the UNS N07718 (Alloy 718) is mainly composed by nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, niobium, titanium and aluminum. UNS N07718 is used in the solution annealed and precipitation hardened condition, where a complex microstructure is formed, which is responsible for its very good mechanical properties, as well as its cracking and corrosion resistance.
Extremely corrosive environments of today’s oil and gas exploration requires more expensive Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) to be used for equipment such as tubulars. Material selection for oil and gas wells, especially those containing high hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressure, is very crucial. Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide are quite aggressive to the materials used in oil field environments. The material of choice for these oil wells has to be reliable and cost-effective. This makes the material selection process a very complex and difficult task involving both financial and safety risks analysis.
This paper shows results comparing the localized corrosion resistance of seven martensitic, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels in deaerated 10,000 ppm Cl- solution at ambient temperature.
