Laboratory assessment of the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors at oilfield pipelines of the West Siberia region I. Objective setting

This paper starts a series of publications dealing with the laboratory assessment of the performance of corrosion inhibitors for oilfield pipelines. Typical corrosion and inhibitor protection conditions in oilfield pipelines of the West Siberia region and existing approaches to the laboratory simulation of corrosion situations in oilfield pipelines are discussed. The simulation conditions and capabilities of laboratory test methods are compared.
