The role of acetic acid in the corrosion processes has been the subject of numerous studies1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. While the actual mechanistic influence of acetic acid is still to be resolved, its ability to increase the severity of CO2 corrosion, when present at ppm levels, has been well documented9. This paper addresses methodologies to evaluate acetic acid corrosion rate in inhibited oil and gas production environments.
