The Path Towards More Consistent Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibitors Used in the Oil and Gas Industry

Time-tested and proven methods to control corrosion of oil and gas industry infrastructures (pipelines, facilities, and refineries) include the use of appropriate materials, protective coatings, cathodic protection (CP), and corrosion inhibitors.


Criteria for evaluation, qualification, and selection of materials, coatings and application of CP are
quantitative and are typically followed rigorously (Table 1). Standards on these quantitative criteria are established, and in many cases have been adopted by regulatory authorities.

This paper provides an overview of various properties influencing efficacy of corrosion inhibitors including transportability, efficiency, availability, and secondary inhibitor properties (TEAS); highlights various standards available to evaluate these properties; describes status of implementation of these standards; emphasizes the importance of developing standard test methods; identifies the gaps in evaluating inhibitor efficacy; and elaborates an industry effort underway to fill the gaps and to develop standard test methods on corrosion inhibitor evaluation and monitoring.
