The use of various intrusive and non-intrusive methods of corrosion monitoring makes it possible to assess the corrosion situation and the effectiveness of the applied corrosion protection agents in conditions of internal corrosion at gas production facilities due to the presence of aggressive gases. The analysis of the application of ultrasonic testing methods as part of corrosion monitoring of internal corrosion at gas production facilities in the presence of corrosive components is carried out. Ultrasonic thickness measurement is widely used as a non-intrusive method for monitoring internal corrosion and detecting corrosion defects in promising gas fields. Many gas fields (Bovanenkovskoye oil and gas condensate field, Urengoy oil and gas field and others) revealed corrosion defects due to cases of internal corrosion due to the presence of increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the produced hydrocarbons. Under conditions of corrosion in the presence of carbon dioxide, ultrasonic methods for measuring the thickness of a metal have certain limitations associated with the unpredictable local nature of carbon dioxide corrosion, which should be considered when used in gas facilities. The main method for measuring thickness under operational conditions is ultrasonic thickness measurement, which is used in conjunction with radiographic monitoring. Using these two main non-intrusive methods, corrosion monitoring monitors the thinning of the metal, the size and depth of local defects and the dynamics of their change over time. Based on the results of measuring the residual wall thickness of the pipe and equipment, the possibility of their further work is determined, and recommendations are made on extending the safe life of gas facilities. The authors analyzed the literature data on new options and technical solutions for the use of ultrasonic methods in the measurement of the thickness of a metal surface.

The effect of carbon dioxide corrosion on the pipeline transport system and its protection methods are considered in this article. The corrosion inhibitors represented by imidazoline-based compositions and industrial samples of corrosion inhibitors are used as protective reagents, and the model of produced water saturated with carbon dioxide is used as an aggressive environment. The protective properties of inhibitors and the corrosion rate were evaluated by gravimetric analysis. The paper presents the results of the study of industrial samples and inhibitory compositions developed on the basis of the REC “Promyslovaya himiya”. According to the results of the work, a positive effect of additives of nonionic surfactants on the protective properties of inhibitors was noted.

At the present stage of gas field development, the products of many mining facilities have increased content of corrosive CO2 . The corrosive effect of CO2 on steel equipment and pipelines is determined by the conditions of its use. CO2 has a potentially wide range of usage at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Simulation tests and analysis were carried out to assess the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. Gas production facilities demonstrate several corrosion formation zones: lower part of the pipe (when moisture accumulates) and top of the pipe (in case of moisture condensation). The authors have analyzed the main factors influencing the intensity of carbon dioxide corrosion processes at hydrocarbon production with CO2 , its storage and use for various technological purposes. The main mechanism for development of carbon dioxide corrosion is presence/condensation of moisture, which triggers the corrosion process, including the formation of local defects (pits, etc.). X-ray diffraction was used for the analysis of corrosion products formed on the steel surface, which can have different protective characteristics depending on the phase state (amorphous or crystalline).

In Gazprom dobycha Urengoy LLC, as in other oil-and-gas production enterprises, there are problems of increased equipment wear due to corrosion. A special role there plays CO2 corrosion. Despite the homogeneity of the extracted fluid and even chemical composition of the working medium, the nature and intensity of corrosion damage to pipelines and equipment varies over a wide range, due to different thermobaric parameters of well operation. To determine parameters influencing the rate of corrosion most different methods of statistical analysis were used. The paper provides a methodology for compiling a mathematical model and assessing its reliability. As a result, the equation of carbon dioxide corrosion in relation to the conditions of Achimov deposits of Urengoy oil, gas and condensate field was obtained. The type of the obtained equation was chosen according to the model of the classical de Waard-Milliams carbon dioxide corrosion equation. The model proposed by the authors describes the processes of carbon dioxide corrosion more reliably than the de Waard-Milliams equation does. The disadvantage of the developed model is that it does not reliably describe the speed of corrosion in wells with corrosion rates, significantly exceeding the average values for all wells studied.

ABSTRACTWith much fanfare, Ghana's Jubilee Oil Field was discovered in 2007 and began producing oil in 2010. In the six coastal districts nearest the offshore fields, expectations of oil-backed development have been raised. However, there is growing concern over what locals perceive to be negative impacts of oil and gas production. Based on field research conducted in 2010 and 2015 in the same communities in each district, this paper presents a longitudinal study of the impacts (real and perceived) of oil and gas production in Ghana. With few identifiable benefits beyond corporate social responsibility projects often disconnected from local development priorities, communities are growing angrier at their loss of livelihoods, increased social ills and dispossession from land and ocean. Assuming that others must be benefiting from the petroleum resources being extracted near their communities, there is growing frustration. High expectations, real and perceived grievances, and increasing social fragmentation threaten to lead to conflict and underdevelopment.

Repeatability And Reproducibility

Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion is one of the most dangerous types of destruction of metal products in the oil and gas industry. The field steel pipelines and tubing run the highest risk. Laboratory tests are carried out to assess the resistance of steels to carbon dioxide corrosion. However, unified requirements for certain test parameters are currently absent in the regulatory documentation. We present the results of studying the effect of the parameters of laboratory tests on the assessment of the resistance of steels to CO2 corrosion. It is shown that change in the parameters of CO2 concentration, chemical composition of the water/brine system, the buffer properties and pH, the roughness of the sample surface, etc., even in the framework of the same laboratory technique, can lead in different test results. The main contribution to the repeatability and reproducibility of test results is made by the concentration of CO2, pH of the water/brine system, and surface roughness of the samples. The results obtained can be used in developing recommendations for the choice of test parameters to ensure a satisfactory convergence of the results gained in different laboratories, as well as in elaborating of a unified method for assessing the resistance of steels to carbon dioxide corrosion.

Kerak pemendapan merupakan satu daripada masalah paling penting dan serius dalam sistem suntikan air. Kerak kadangkala mengehadkan atau menghalang penghasilan gas dan minyak melalui penyumbatan matrik atau perpecahan pembentukan minyak dan jeda yang berlubang. Makalah ini mengetengahkan kesimpulan pengukuran makmal bagi kerak terbentuk di dalam keterlarutan medan minyak biasa dalam sintetik air masin (pembentukan air dan air laut) bagi pembentukan air yang mengandungi barium dan kandungan garam yang tinggi pada suhu 40 hingga 90°C pada tekanan atmosfera. Keputusan uji kaji mengesahkan pola kebergantungan keterlarutan bagi kerak medan minyak biasa pada keadaan ini. Pada suhu yang lebih tinggi, kerak bagi CaCO3, CaSO4, dan SrSO4 meningkat manakala kerak BaSO4 menurun disebabkan oleh keterlarutan CaCO3, CaSO4, dan SrSO4 menurun dan keterlarutan BaSO4 meningkat dengan kenaikan suhu. Kata kunci: Masalah pengskalaan; skala keterlarutan; paras kandungan garam tinggi; logam barium tinggi Scale deposition is one of the most important and serious problems which water injection systems are generally engaged in. Scale sometimes limits or blocks oil and gas production by plugging the oil–producing formation matrix or fractures and the perforated intervals. This paper presents a summary of the laboratory measurements of the solubility of common oil field scales in synthetic brines (formation water and sea water) of high–barium and high–salinity formation waters at 40 to 90°C and atmospheric pressure. The experimental results confirm the general trend in solubility dependencies for common oil field scales at these conditions. At higher temperatures the deposition of CaCO3, CaSO4 and SrSO4 scale increases and the deposition of BaSO4 scale decreases since the solubilities of CaCO3, CaSO4 and SrSO4 scales decreases and the solubility of BaSO4 increases with increasing temperature. Key words: Scaling problems; solubility of scale; high salinity; high barium
