Sour gas is being produced from a number of carbon-steel-completed wells in the US, Canada, France, and Saudi Arabia. The gas stream contains various levels of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide (CO2) and is produced from high-temperature reservoirs with temperatures ranging from 160 to 410°F. The combination of hydrogen sulfide with high temperatures introduces challenges related to corrosion and iron sulfide (FeS) scale formation.
