Increasing hydrocarbon chain length in a corrosion inhibitor tends to increase its inhibition efficiency (IE) but decrease its solubility in aqueous solutions. In this study, quaternary amine corrosion inhibitors with variable hydrocarbon chain lengths ranging from 10 to 16 carbons were synthesized and evaluated as acid corrosion inhibitors for coiled tubing steel. The substituents containing double and triple bonds were incorporated into the corrosion inhibitors to enhance their performance in HCl acid solutions. In addition to the quaternary nitrogen, three additional adsorption sites including propargyl and two allyl groups are present in this corrosion inhibitor.\u0000 Behavior of these compounds in concentrated HCl acids was examined using gravimetric and electrochemical methods (polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)). Weight loss tests were conducted in 28 wt% HCl acid solutions at different temperatures and a soaking time of two hours was applied. The temperatures examined ranged from 30 to 90 °C. The results showed that IE increased in the order of C10 < C12 < C16 at 30 °C and while a reverse order was observed at higher examined temperatures (90 °C). At a temperature of 30 °C, an inhibitor concentration of 50 ppm gave the corrosion IE of 80.4, 78.3 and 67.2% for C16, C12 and C10, respectively, while at 90 °C, the corresponding inhibition efficiencies were 25.7, 21.1 and 15.4%. Polarization measurements showed that the inhibition mechanisms for C12 and C16 was via suppressing/retarding anodic reaction while a mixed- type mechanism was obtained for C10. The IE obtained by the polarization technique at 30 °C showed the same order obtained by weight loss method (C16>C12>C10) while at a temperature of 70 °C, the order was C16>C10>C12.\u0000 This paper will present in detail, 1) the synthesis and characterization of the corrosion inhibitors, 2) the variation in their performance, and 3) subsequently, the potential mechanisms for obtained variations as a function of temperature are discussed.","PeriodicalId":10943,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Mon, June 18, 2018","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80974250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, API T95 grade is acceptable to be used in all regions of environmental severity and for all temperatures. As per Annex B of the same standard, SSC laboratory testing in accordance with NACE TM0177 Methods A and D in Solution A saturated by 1 bar H2S partial pressure (PH2S) qualify a material for all SSC regions, up to 10 bar PH2S. To evaluate this statement and verify if the existing NACE guidelines apply also for SS 110 ksi Specified Minimum Yield Strength (SMYS), a procedure to assess the SSC resistance in high H2S pressure was developed. This procedure was applied to enhanced SS 95 ksi and 110 ksi SMYS materials. The methodology consists in regular purging and filling of the gas phase in order to keep constant the PH2S and to remove hydrogen gas produced by generalized corrosion. Investigations combined NACE TM0177 Method A and D tests, characterizations of the iron sulfide scales and hydrogen electrochemical permeations. This methodology enables to give some insights on the corrosion mechanism and the influence of high partial pressure of H2S on the SSC resistance.","PeriodicalId":10943,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Mon, June 18, 2018","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87055409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Development of new oil and gas fields often requires the use of more sophisticated downhole equipment. As a result these production conditions can result in exceptionally high wall shear stress, for example in-flow control devices (ICDs) can reach shear stresses up to 10,000 Pa. To accommodate this, there is need for more representative high shear tests for material and production chemical selection. A jet impingement test procedure is shown that allows for the evaluation of products under such environments. Further to this the shear stresses generated in standard laboratory tests have been compared with a high flow pilot rig and comparative Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling.\u0000 A test system has been developed that allows routine laboratory evaluation of corrosion processes at moderate to high shear stresses using jet impingement methodology. A series of tests have been conducted to determine the extent of corrosion under moderate to high shear conditions. Static tests and low shear rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) tests have been carried out using the same brine system to allow comparison of results from the different methods. Ultimately, high flow (moderate to high shear) pilot rig tests have also been used to verify the results.\u0000 The results show that the jet impingement approach is effective in generating field representative conditions, which in turn can support material or chemical selection. The work presented is supported by case studies which will be illustrated.\u0000 In order to test effectively, the flow regimes experienced in the field must be replicated. Using CFD models we demonstrate that the observed field conditions can be reproduced using these laboratory flow regimes and produce results that correlate well.","PeriodicalId":10943,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Mon, June 18, 2018","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80780797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
