Replacement of carbon steel piping and wells

After 3.5 years produced water + some aquifier injection:

Local corrosion with depth 1-11 mm in piping

Remaining wall thickness 8 mm in manifold weld,nominal thickness 40 mm

Thick deposits of iron oxides, some iron sulphide

Elemental sulphide has been identified

MIC nodules were identified

Extensive deposition and corrosion in wells

The influence of nitrate on corrosion - I

Side stream test Laboratory test

No nitrate

Nitrate

The influence of nitrate on corrosion - II

Addition of nitrate to produced water with CO2 can cause a large increase in corrosion rate on carbon steel.

Nitrate should not be added to produced water containing CO2.

Different microorganisms able to utilize hydrogen were detected. This microbial hydrogen consumption can stimulate corrosion.
