Abstract
Seawater injection has proven to be an effective means of enhancing hydrocarbon recovery. One concern for the installation of a carbon steel water injection flowline is the formation of corrosion debris that may result in well plugging and even more costly well work-overs. In this work, the effects of dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature on the formation and size distribution of corrosion generated particles The predicted particle volume and size distribution was then used to assess the risk of well plugging and determine if internal lining, coating or other corrosion control methods are needed.
