The SACROC Unit Co2 project was initiated in 1972 as an Enhanced Oil Recovery project to recover additional oil following eighteen years of centerline pressure maintenance. Corrosion problems encountered in the pressure maintenance project, due to very corrosive characteristics of the produced water, have increased in severity and number as a result of CO2 injection, breakthrough and production. Inhibition and control of the environment have been satisfactory for corrosion control in some facilities, but the use of corrosion resistant alloys, protective coatings and nonmetallic materials have been necessary to solve many corrosion problems.
