Supercritical CO2 Corrosion in Production Casing Due to Contaminated Gas Lift

Available for download

Pre-salt carbonate reservoirs in the Santos Basin are a challenge for offshore well design and
construction. Located under a salt layer of around 2000 m, they generate large amounts of carbon dioxide associated with oil and gas production. To avoid releasing millions of cubic meters of CO2 into the atmosphere, the gas is reinjected or used for artificial lift purposes, where its fraction can reach up to 80% of the total composition.

The purpose of this work is to describe the results of corrosion studies for production casing strings subjected to gas lift containing supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) in the pre-salt Brazilian fields. High pressure carbonate reservoirs usually demand CRA for well completions during production. Production casing string uses low alloy steel though, due to CRA high costs. Low alloy steel casings are subjected to sweet corrosion where the packer fluid is located. High corrosion rates are expected in that region. However, the semi-confined space of the annulus region between the production casing and tubing string, and the scale formed in the hot rolling process can significantly aid reducing the corrosive process. This paper shows the results of corrosion tests carried out considering the reduced volume-area ratio of the packer
fluid region, the production parameters, and the protective effect of the steel mill scale. The test methodology consisted in a quantitative analysis using laser interferometry and autoclaves with supercritical conditions and reduced volume-area ratio.

Traditionally, sour severity of high-pressure, high temperature (HPHT) oil and gas production wells were assessed by H2S partial pressure (PH2S): The mole fraction of H2S in the gas (yH2S) multiplied by the total pressure (PT). While PH2S is appropriate for characterizing the sour severity of wellbores operating at low total pressures (e.g., PT < 35 MPa) and/or for highly sour systems (e.g., yH2S > 1 mol%), PH2S usually over-predicts the actual sour severity of HPHT systems, leading to sub-optimal material selection options.

The goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to below 2°C, preferably 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.1 While the world is slowly transitioning to more sustainable energy sources to reach this target, one of the ways to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere is to capture it and store it in depleted gas fields. According to the IOGP1, the total number of CCS projects in Europe is 65 in 2022.2 The aim of these projects is to store around 60 MtCO₂/yr by 2030.

Martensitic Stainless Steel (SMSS) is widely used for downhole production tubing and liners in the Oil & Gas industry. Optimization of the tubular material chemistry, cleanliness and manufacturing route has delivered useful performance in H2S-containing environments (specifically SSC and stress corrosion cracking [SCC])3 resistance4,5,6. Some tubular accessories and most completion equipment require sizes not readily delivered by tubular product form. In these instances, bar stock material is a pragmatic choice.
