Products of several currently operated production facilities (Bovanenkovskoye, Urengoyskoye oil and gas condensate fields, etc.) contain an increased amount of corrosive CO2. Effect of CO2 on the corrosion of steel infrastructure facilities is determined by the conditions of its use. Carbon dioxide has a potentially wide range of applications at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Each of the aggregate states of CO2 (gas, liquid and supercritical) is used and affects the corrosion state of oil and gas facilities. Article analyzes the results of simulation tests and evaluates the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. The main factors influencing the intensity of carbonic acid corrosion processes in the main conditions of hydrocarbon production with CO2, storage and its use for various technological purposes are revealed. Development of carbon dioxide corrosion is accompanied and characterized by the localization of corrosion and the formation of defects (pitting, pits, etc.). Even alloyed steels are not always resistant in the presence of moisture and increased partial pressures of CO2, especially in the presence of additional factors of corrosive influence (temperature, aggressive impurities in gas, etc.).

Abstract Models for predicting top-of-line corrosion (TLC) rates on carbon steels are important tools for cost-effectively designing and operating natural gas transportation pipelines. The work presented in this paper is aimed to investigate how the corrosion rates on carbon steel is affected by acids typically present in the transported pipeline fluids. This investigation may contribute to the development of improved models. In a series of experiments, the corrosion rate differences for pure CO2 (carbonic acid) corrosion and pure organic acid corrosion (acetic acid and formic acid) on X65 carbon steel were investigated at starting pH values; 4.5, 5.3, or 6.3. The experiments were conducted in deaerated low-salinity aqueous solutions at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 65 °C. The corrosion rates were evaluated from linear polarization resistance data as well as mass loss and released iron concentration. A correlation between lower pH values and increased corrosion rates was found for the organic acid experiments. However, the pH was not the most critical factor for the rates of carbon steel corrosion in these experiments. The experimental results showed that the type of acid species involved and the concentration of the undissociated acid in the solution influenced the corrosion rates considerably.

The corrosion of concrete structures is serious in sulfuric acid environments. Corrosion damage of reinforcements caused sulfuric acid corrosion is very serious. The rapid experiments of sulfuric acid corrosion steel bars were carried out, and the apparent morphology and mechanical properties of sulfuric acid corrosion steel bars were studied. The results show that the corrosion of steel bars is uniform corrosion. With the increase of corrosion rate, the yield platforms and the yield strengths and ultimate strengths are reduced. Based on the experimental datas, the relationship models between yield strengths and ultimate strengths and corrosion rates were obtained. The constitutive models of corrosion steel bars were established. The stress - strain relationship model is in good agreement with the experimental data.

The electrochemical behaviour of a cobalt rotating electrode in H2CO3/HCO3–/CO32– aqueous solutions was investigated in the pH region from 7 to 9. The effects of H2CO3/HCO3–/CO32– concentration, pH, and the presence of phosphates as inhibitors was explored using a rotating disc electrode at 1000 rpm. Some potentiodynamic experiments indicate that for pH 8.5 and higher, carbonate and bicarbonate species play a key role on the rate of electrooxidation of cobalt. For pH lower than 8.5, the electrochemical behaviour of cobalt changes drastically and very aggressive corrosion is observed. The involvement of carbonic acid must be considered in the corrosion process of cobalt in this pH region. The study of passive film potential decay under open circuit potential and galvanostatic reduction was performed on preanodized cobalt electrodes in solutions of various compositions. These experiments indicated the phenomena occurring at the electrode–solution interface during the corrosion process. A mechanism involving competitive adsorption of different species is suggested on the basis of the experimental evidence.Key words: cobalt, bicarbonate, phosphate, carbonic acid, corrosion.
