Abstract
Several examples of pipeline corrosion control are discussed. In each account, after the completion of a laboratory evaluation, a corrosion inhibitor program was implemented at the field location. The inhibitor selected was then monitored for its mitigating benefits against corrosion in wet pipeline environments. This occurred where carbon steel constructed equipment was used to transfer various types of corrosive oil and/or gas produced fluids to downstream processing locations. The field monitoring was an integral part of the production companies overall asset integrity management plan, as it insured that the applied inhibitor maintained the internal integrity of the pipeline asset. In each example cited, the inhibitor program was monitored and optimized accordingly using various on line corrosion monitoring technologies. For each corrosive pipeline environment discussed, the respective on line monitoring tool selected by the production company was value added, confirming that the applied inhibitor maintained internal integrity of the pipeline asset.
