Abstract
The corrosion and passive behavior of HP-13Cr stainless steel (HP-13Cr SS) in formate annulus protection fluid was investigated. HP-13Cr SS exhibited good passive behavior in clean formate annulus protection fluid, which was attributed to a thinner and more dense passive film mainly composed of Cr2O3. In the formation water solution, the passive film was composed of metastable Cr(OH)3, which was explained by the isoelectric point theory, resulting in the deterioration of the passive behavior of HP-13Cr SS. When the formation water penetrated the formate annulus protection fluid, a large number of loose FeCO3 particles formed in the corrosion scales, thus HP-13Cr SS suffered severe corrosion. Therefore, avoiding formation water penetrating the formate annulus protection fluid is conducive to improving the service life of HP-13Cr SS oil tubes in extremely aggressive environment.
