Effects of Temperature and CO2 Pressure on the Corrosion Behavior of N80 Carbon Steel in Produced Fluids
摘要
This paper examines and elaborates on how temperature and CO2 influence the corrosion behavior of N80 in produced fluids. The results demonstrate that no protective corrosion products are formed at 50 °C, leading to a higher corrosion rate. At 80 °C, a dense protective layer of FeCO3 was observed on the surface, resulting in a decreased corrosion rate. At 110 °C, the main corrosion products are FeCO3 and Fe3O4. Fe3O4 is very thermodynamically stable, which protects the substrate better and causes the lowest corrosion rate. Additionally, under the temperature condition of 110 °C, a high CO2 pressure (0.8 MPa) inhibits the formation of Fe3O4 while promoting the faster generation of FeCO3 on the surface. This creates a favorable environment for chloride ion enrichment, thereby intensifying localized corrosion.
