Abstract

Most internal corrosive conditions found in oil and gas producing equipment can be controlled through the use of corrosion inhibitors. Organic corrosion inhibitor chemistry is now well known and inhibition mechanisms are understood. There are many good inhibitor formulations available today; so many, in fact, that the producer is faced with the problem of selecting the one best suited to his requirements. Many people depend solely on various types of comparative inhibitor efficiency tests in the laboratory to evaluate and select inhibitors for use under field conditions. These tests are important as relative screening tests, but the selection of a carefully planned application program for the specific formulation is equally important.
