Laboratory assessment of corrosion inhibitors effectiveness at oilfield pipelines of West Siberian region. III. Bubble test

This article continues a series of publications dedicated to lab assessment of carbon dioxide corrosion inhibitors efficiency at the oilfield pipelines of West Siberian region. Results of the bubble test are reviewed. The effect of temperature, test duration, condition of the specimen surface, the presence of a hydrocarbon phase, and concentration of inhibitors on corrosion rate and protective properties of a wide range of commercial inhibitors are analyzed. Recommendations on specific test conditions to assess the applicability of inhibitors for protection of water lines and oil pipelines with low watercut are given.
