A Case Study on Inner Corrosion of 3%Cr Casing Steel in the CO₂ Environments

Abstract:

Understanding inner corrosion property of casing steel is fundamental to safe and economic exploitation of oil & gas. In this present work, a series of corrosion tests were conducted on 3%Cr coupons derived from 9-5/8” casing. Analyses of weight loss, product morphology and composition were carried out, to investigate the corrosion behaviors caused by sweet CO₂. Analysis on the weight loss showed that, with an increment of temperature from 45°C to 105°C, the corrosion rate of 3%Cr coupon firstly ascends and then arrives to the maximum at 65°C. SEM analysis demonstrated the formation of a compact corrosion product layer on the specimen surface. While increasing the exposed time increases, the corrosion rate gradually descends. The main compositions of corrosion product are Fe-Cr and Cr₅O₁₂, which can effective hinder corrosion reaction in the CO₂ environment.
