Effective Passivating Oil Field Corrosion Control System. Final Technical Report

摘要

The effective passivating corrosion control system discovered and developed by Mr. Richard Gay was successfully tested under severely corrosive conditions: temperature to 250 deg C, 1% NaCl, pH 4.5, with 0.018 M CO sub 2 and 0.054 M H sub 2 S. A hard, corrosion-resistant film was deposited on steel test coupons, and further corrosion was prevented. Potential applications for the system include sour oil and gas wells and gathering systems, geothermal wells and gathering systems, gas processing plants and refineries. Ultimate commercial development will require additional field and laboratory test work. (ERA citation 12:006825)
