摘要

Significant corrosion damage was observed on the external surface of shale gas production tubing, which brings serious safety risk to shale gas production and operation. Analysis of historical failure data reveals that over 80% of integrity incidents in surface engineering systems involve localized corrosion, while wellbore-related failures remain comparatively infrequent. To elucidate the cause of corrosion damage of shale gas tubing and underlying corrosion mechanisms, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of a failed tubing specimen through advanced material characterization techniques, focusing on the synergistic effects of environmental factors. The results showed that the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of the tubing met the requirements of API Spec 5CT standard. The main cause of local corrosion damage of tubing was through competitive adsorption of dissolved O2 and CO2 at defect sites. Meanwhile, the Cl ions assisted anodic dissolution.
